64. 2 for near-infrared frequencies). At low intensities, at which the lowest-order perturbation theory is applicable i is equal to the minimum number of photons needed to overcome the ionization potential. This theoretical result is, however, no longer valid as soon as above threshold ionization (ATI) sets in. Saturation of ionization of atoms and molecules usually appears in the ATI intensity regime.
