We present a new convergent strong coupling expansion for two-level atoms in
external periodic fields, free of secular terms. As a first application, we
show that the coherent destruction of tunnelling is a third-order effect. We
also present an exact treatment of the high-frequency region, and compare it
with the theory of averaging. The qualitative frequency spectrum of the
transition probability amplitude contains an effective Rabi frequency.Comment: 4 pages with 3 figure
