The two-photon absorption of few-electron ions has been studied theoretically in the framework of second-order perturbation theory and Dirac’s relativistic equation. Expressions were derived especially for the excitation cross sections and rates, including the contribution of higher-order multipoles in the expansion of the electron-photon interaction. Though these expressions are independent of the particular shell structure of the ion, detailed computations have been carried out for the two-photon absorption of hydrogen-, helium-, and berylliumlike ions and are compared with the available
theoretical and experimental data. In this contribution, we discuss the relativistic and nondipole effects upon the induced two-photon transitions as well as the potential for exploring parity-violating interactions in high-Z ions [1].
