Hydrogen atoms with principal quantum number n = 10 have been laser excited to states between n = 44 and 67 in the presence of a strong microwave field whose frequency ..omega.. was adjustable between 5.9 and 8.0 GHz. The excitation probability has been studied as a function of n, ..omega.., microwave field strength and the number of microwave photons absorbed.
