Instead of using a single, highly energetic "blue" photon to remove an outer electron from an atom, for instance, two or three lower-energy "red" photons are employed. The first one or two photons excite the atom to an intermediate state, so that the electron resides in an intermediate energy level, and the last photon provides the final boost to remove it from the atom completely. 1, record 2, English, - intermediate%20state
