The feasibility of inducing a Mott's metal-insulator transition in narrow-band crystals by a strong constant or alternating electric field is shown. The tow-electron approximation has been applied to consider the problem of formation of a small-radius electron pair in a constant electric field in such crystals, and the idea of electromagnetic pumping, analogous to laser pumping, of superconducting condensates is formulated.
