Rare gas or metal clusters are known to absorb laser energy very efficiently. Upon cluster expansion the Mie plasma frequency may become equal to the laser frequency. This linear resonance has been well studied both experimentally and theoretically employing pump probe schemes. In this work we focus on the few-cycle regime or the early stage of the cluster dynamics where linear resonance is not met but nevertheless efficient absorption of laser energy persists. By retrieving time-dependent oscillator frequencies from particle-in-cell simulation results, we show that nonlinear resonance is the dominant mechanism behind outer ionization and energy absorption in near infrared laser-driven clusters.
