Abstract

Mechanisms of non-linear absorption and ionization of molecular nitrogen gas by UV femtosecond laser pulses were studied using photogalvanic and photoacoustic techniques. The effect of the intermediate Rydberg resonance, its dynamic Stark perturbation and ponderomotive upshift of the first ionization potential of nitrogen molecules by the intense laser pulses has been revealed by observing an increase of a power slope of ion yield from three to four at increasing laser intensity.
