Resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) provides a powerful new method for investigating atomic and molecular energy levels. The method is particularly useful in discovering and characterizing certain optically forbidden transitions. The method is particularly well suited for studying Rydberg transitions in molecules and is experimentally easier than the traditional use of far ultraviolet radiation in conventional spectroscopy. Research on multiphoton ionization and third-harmonic generation is reviewed. (WHK)
