Abstract
The photoionization spectrum in the second step of the three-step lutetium photoionization scheme 5d6s2 2D3/2 – 5d6s6p4 $$F_{{5/2}}^{{\text{o}}}$$ – 5d6s7s4D3/2 – (53 375 cm–1 $$)_{{1/2}}^{{\text{o}}}$$ has been measured. The effect of two-photon transitions has been studied experimentally compared to one-photon transitions.
