Strong-Field Molecular Ionization from Multiple Orbitals

We demonstrate strong-field ionization from multiple orbitals of excited-state uracil molecules. The molecules are excited to the first bright state by an ultrafast laser pulse in the deep ultraviolet and then ionized with a strong-field laser pulse in the near infrared during ultrafast relaxation b...
