Abstract
For spin-polarized as well as unpolarized alkali atoms, a compact expression is obtained for the rate of two-photon ionization by two light beams having different wave vectors, polarizations and orientations of their polarization ellipses. As an example, the expression is applied to one selected experimental geometry and 16 selected combinations of polarization states of the “exciting” and “ionizing” light beams.
