Photoelectron energy spectra resulting from two-photon ionization of calcium atoms by 180 fs pulses have been studied as a function of wavelength (380--405 nm) and intensity (9{minus}900GW/cm{sup 2}). When the wavelength is tuned near the 4{ital s}{r_arrow}4{ital p} or 4{ital s}{r_arrow}5{ital s} {ital ionic} core transition, the photoelectron peaks display a characteristic splitting proportional to the field strength and assignable to a two-electron continuum-continuum Autler-Townes effect. Spectra obtained by an essential-state model involving three coupled continua are compared to the experiment.
