Abstract
In this study, we report on the use of Thomson coherent microwave scattering (CMS) to characterize photoionization rates in oxygen and nitrogen at 800 nm over a range spanning approximately three orders of magnitude, from about mid-10⁹ s⁻¹ range to the to mid-10¹² s⁻¹ range, corresponding to laser intensities in the vicinity of 10¹³-10¹⁴ W/cm², a range of significant practical relevance to filamentation physics.
