D. Charalambidis et al., MULTIPHOTON IONIZATION SATURATION INTENSITIES AND GENERALIZED CROSS-SECTIONS FROM ATI SPECTRA, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 30(6), 1997, pp. 1467-1479
A simple method for the determination of saturation intensities and in
some cases generalized cross sections in multiphoton ionization is pr
esented. It utilizes the dependence of the ponderomotive shift on the
laser intensity above the saturation limit. An application to He Ar in
teracting with 500 fs pulses at 248 nm is demonstrated. Experimental r
esults are compared with theoretical calculations.
