摘要
We exploit a method to precisely calibrate the peak intensity of intense laser pulses by measuring the momentum transferred to the ion in single ionization by circularly polarized light. Using this approach, we show how the experimental data can be used to get information about the absolute ionization rate at a specific local laser-peak intensity within the focal volume. The results of this method are compared to other results obtained with different methods of laser-peak-intensity calibration described in the literature.
