We have calculated the two-photon above-threshold-ionization cross sections of rare-gas atoms by extreme ultraviolet (xuv) photons in the extended framework of multichannel quantum defect theory. Since free-free dipole moments do not converge in the length gauge, we have made the combined use of the length gauge for small r and the acceleration gauge for large r. The two-photon above-threshold ionization cross sections for Xe and Ar associated with the p5[2P3∕2] and p5[2P1∕2] ionic core states are calculated to be 1.0×10−51 cm4 s and 2.0×10−51 cm4 s, respectively, for 25‐eV photons.
