Abstract

Optics Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Atomic, Molecular & Chemical Science & Technology
The dynamics of the vibrational excitation and dissociation of a diatomic molecule by infrared laser pulses is studied classically. The system is modeled by a Morse oscillator interacting with a classical electric field. A chirped infrared laser pulse with realistic pulse shape and time-dependent frequency is very efficient to pump the molecule to highly excited states. The addition of a second fixed-frequency laser pulse is found to drastically enhance the dissociation probabilities. [S1050-2947(99)04508-4].
