Popis: Few-photon multiple ionization of Ne and Ar atoms by strong vacuum ultraviolet laser pulses from the free-electron laser at Hamburg was investigated differentially with the Heidelberg reaction microscope. The light-intensity dependence of ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{2+}$ production reveals the dominance of nonsequential two-photon double ionization at intensities of $Il6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{12}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{W}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ and significant contributions of three-photon ionization as $I$ increases. ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{2+}$ recoil-ion-momentum distributions suggest that two electrons absorbing ``instantaneously'' two photons are ejected most likely into opposite hemispheres with similar energies.
