Energy distributions of ions emitted from argon clusters (up to 12 800 atoms/cluster) Coulomb-exploded with an intense femtosecond laser have been experimentally studied. Under the laser intensity of 2x10{sup 16} W/cm{sup 2}, the ions of >15 keV are anisotropically emitted, while those lower than 15 keV tend to be isotropic. The argon ions of charge state up to Ar{sup 14+} were generated, and their high charge state is more than expected by the barrier suppression ionization model. The yield and maximum energy of Ar{sup 8+}-Ar{sup 14+} ions depend on laser polarization direction, while those of Ar{sup +}-Ar{sup 7+} are much less sensitive to the laser polarization. The present results suggests that high-charge-state and anisotropically emitted ions are produced by impact ionization of electrons that are produced by optical field ionization with the intense laser.
