General Laser Interaction Theory in Atom−Diatom Systems for Both Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Cases

This paper develops the general theory for laser fields interacting with bimolecular systems. In this study, we choose to use the multipolar gauge on the basis of gauge invariance. We consider both the adiabatic and nonadiabatic cases and find they produce similar interaction pictures. As an applica...

Description
Summary:This paper develops the general theory for laser fields interacting with bimolecular systems. In this study, we choose to use the multipolar gauge on the basis of gauge invariance. We consider both the adiabatic and nonadiabatic cases and find they produce similar interaction pictures. As an application of this theory, we present the study of rovibrational energy transfer in Ar + CO collisions in the presence of an intense laser field.
