We investigate the high-order above-threshold ionization (HATI) of atoms (Ar and Xe) and molecules (N 2 and O 2 ) subjected to strong laser fields by numerically solving time-dependent Schrödinger equation. It is demonstrated that resonance-like enhancement of groups of adjacent peaks in photoelectron spectrum of HATI is observed for Ar, Xe, and N 2 , while this peculiar phenomenon is absent for O 2 , which is in agreement with experimental observation [ Phys. Rev. A88, 021401 (2013)]. In addition, analysis indicates that resonance-like enhancement in HATI spectra of atoms and molecules is closely related to excitation of the high-lying excited states.
