We propose the use of Stark chirped rapid-adiabatic-passage method, a technique in which the energy of a target state is swept through resonance by a slowly varying dynamic Stark shift to induce complete population transfer from the ground [Formula Presented] state to the metastable [Formula Presented] state of the hydrogen atom. Parasitic ionization processes are strongly reduced by using a two-color excitation scheme. Our detailed numerical calculations show that under judicious choice of pulse parameters, up to 98% of the population can be found in the [Formula Presented] state at the end of the process. © 1999 The American Physical Society.
