Abstract
A Ti:sapphire oscillator with an extended cavity generates pulses with energy at a repetition rate of and pulse durations of . Tight focusing creates peak intensities exceeding , which is sufficient for ionizing helium, a nonlinear process where at least 17 photons are absorbed simultaneously.
