Book Description
Quantum mechanical and semiclassical approaches are discussed for the study of molecular collisions in an intense laser field. Both a coherent state and Fock state representation of the photon field are investigated. The collision dynamics is described in terms of transitions between two electronic-field potential energy surfaces, where each surface depends on the field-free adiabatic surfaces and electric dipole transition matrix elements as functions of nuclear coordinates. The electronic-field surfaces exhibit avoided crossings (on the real axis) due to the radiative coupling at the resonance nuclear configurations, and other parts of these surfaces are similar to the field-free adiabatic surfaces with one of them shifted by h bar omega for single photon processes. Metastable states, formed at some collision energies, are conjectured to occur in the field, although absent from the field free case. From a spectroscopic point of view, changes in energy spectra are expected from those of the individual collision-free species. Numerical results are presented for the collinear collision process Br(2P3/2) + H2(v = 0) + h bar omega Br(2P1/2) + H2(v = 0). Author).

Theory of Molecular Collisions in the Presence of a Laser Field

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 6
Book Description
The reaction dynamics and mechanism of energy transfer in a gas-phase molecular collision system can be dramatically affected by an intense, external laser field. A rigorous theoretical treatment must consider explicitly the interaction of the field with the collision dynamics, where the absorption (and emission) of radiation and the molecular collision are viewed as a single process rather than separate, independent processes. The full quantum mechanical formulation yields a set of coupled equations, where the number of equations corresponds to the number of asymptotic channels. A semiclassical formulation of the molecular dynamics involves the propagation of classical trajectories and their corresponding actions for nuclear motion on electronic-field potential surfaces, where each electronic-field surface depends on field-free, adiabatic electronic surfaces and radiative coupling. Transitions between electronic-field surfaces are effected by trajectories propagating through intersection points between the surfaces analytically continued into the complex plane.

Atomic and Molecular Processes with Short Intense Laser Pulses
Author: Andre D. Bandruk
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461309670
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
This volume contains the lectures and communications presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Atomic and Molecular Processes with Short Intense Laser Pulses" (NATO ARW 848/86). The workshop was held at Bishop's University, Lennoxville, Que, Canada, July 19-24, 1987, under the directorship of Prof. A.D. Bandrauk, Universite de Sherbrooke. A scientific committee made up of Dr. P. Corkum (Laser Physics, ~ational Research Council of Canada), Dr. P. Hackett (Laser Chemistry, National Research Council of Canada), Prof. S.C. Wallace (Dept. of Chemistry and Physics, University of Toronto), and Prof. F.H.M. Faisal (FakultHt fUr Physik, UniversitHt Bellefeld) was called upon to invite and organize eminent lectures in the fields of i) Coherence Phenomena in Atomic and Molecular Photoprocesses. ii) High Intensity Atomic and Molecular Phenomena. iii) Laser Chemistry The aim of the workshop was to bring together chemists and physicists in order to~iscuss and analyze the progress made in the use of short in tense laser pulses in understanding coherence phenomena and high intensity, nonlin~adiative effects in atomic and molecular systems.

Laser Interactions with Atoms, Solids and Plasmas
Author: Richard M. More
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1489915761
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
The aim of this NATO Advanced Study Institute was to bring together scientists and students working in the field of laser matter interactions in order to review and stimulate developmentoffundamental science with ultra-short pulse lasers. New techniques of pulse compression and colliding-pulse mode-locking have made possible the construction of lasers with pulse lengths in the femtosecond range. Such lasers are now in operation at several research laboratories in Europe and the United States. These laser facilities present a new and exciting research direction with both pure and applied science components. In this ASI the emphasis is on fundamental processes occurring in the interaction of short laser pulses with atoms, molecules, solids, and plasmas. In the case of laser-atom (molecule) interactions, high power lasers provide the first access to extreme high-intensity conditions above 10'8 Watts/em', a new frontier for nonlinear interaction of photons with atoms and molecules. New phenomena observed include multiphoton ionization processes, atomic collisions in the presence of a strong laser field, Coulomb explosion following rapid ionization of a molecule and the production of high harmonics of the laser source. Another important topic reviewed in this ASI is the lasercooling ofatoms.
