Abstract
A previously presented narrow-bandwidth theory is used to interpret recent data on the four-photon ionization of Cs near the resonance. The theory is based on treating the amplitude of the radiation field as a constant relative to its rapid phase oscillations. The ionization rate adiabatically follows a pulsed amplitude leading to maximum ionization for times at which the pulse develops sufficient intensity to shift the transition into resonance.
