Abstract

We report observations of destructive quantum interference in multiphoton resonant excitation of high-lying Rydberg states in xenon. In a recent laser-induced breakdown experiment by Peet [Phys. Rev. A 51, 3982 (1995)], it was claimed that the interference was absent for such high-lying states.
