Abstract
We have observed multi-photon ionization processes such as two-photon double ionization and above threshold ionization in He at 42 eV using intense soft X-ray pulses produced by high-order harmonics. Using the two-photon double ionization, the pulse width of the 27th (42 eV) harmonic was measured by an autocorrelation technique, and found it to be 8 ns. The high-intensity soft X-ray radiation achieved by phase-matched high-order harmonics enables the investigation of these nonlinear optical processes, which were beyond the reach of conventional light sources.
