Fullerenes are interesting model systems for studying the dynamics of ionisation and energy coupling in large but finite systems with many degrees of freedom. We have investigated the photo excitation and ionisation of C60 fullerenes with intense fs laser radiation. Ultrashort pulses with a duration of about 9 fs and an intensity up to 5 × 1014 W/cm2 have been focused on the molecular beam. From a detailed analysis of the resulting time-of-flight mass spectra as a function of important laser parameters, i.e. pulse duration and intensity, a deep insight into the ionisation and fragmentation processes can be obtained. The derived saturation intensities for C60+, C602+ and C603+ will be discussed in the light of different theoretical models.
