Two-photon double ionization (TP-DI) bridges the gap between single- and multi-photon double ionization regimes and, thus, is of decisive importance to advance non-linear quantum theories, particularly for non-sequential absorption of two photons. Recently, the most intense VUV laser source world-wide became operational, the free electron laser at Hamburg (FLASH). It enables for the first time systematic studies of two-photon induced atomic and molecular fragmentation processes. In this poster, we will present very recent experimental results of recoil ion momentum distributions for the TP-DI of He and Ne at photon energies of 45 and 38 eV, respectively, as well as fully differential measurements for TP-DI of Ne at a photon energy of 45 eV employing the Heidelberg reaction microscope. These results, which might serve as benchmark data for theories, will be discussed in terms of electron emission pattern and possible double ionization mechanisms.
