We report experimental observations of Coulomb explosion using a nanosecond laser at 532 nm with intensities less than 10<sup>12</sup> W/cm<sup>2</sup>. We observe multiply charged atomic ions Ar<sup><i>n</i>+</sup> (1 ≤ <i>n</i> ≤ 7) and C<sup><i>n</i>+</sup> (1 ≤ <i>n</i> ≤ 4) from argon clusters doped with molecules containing aromatic chromophores. The yield of Ar<sup><i>n</i>+</sup> depends on the size of the cluster, the number density, and the photostability of the dopant. We propose that ...[more]
