We present measurements of photoionization cross sections of the 3p {sup 1}P and 3p {sup 3}P excited states of helium, at threshold and near-threshold region (0-0.2 Ry). The experiments have been performed using a dc glow discharge and employed the saturation technique to determine the photoionization cross sections. A smooth frequency dependence of the cross section has been observed for both the excited states in accordance to the theoretical calculations. The measured values of the photoionization cross section, using a simple experimental setup, are in good agreement with the earlier reported theoretical and experimental values.
