Effect of depletion of many rotational states in vibrational excitation of molecules in a strong IR field
Collisionless excitation of polyatomic molecules from the ground vibrational state independently of their rotational state was experimentally observed in a laser IR field of moderate intensity. This capture of many rotational states should be invoked in the analysis of collisionless dissociation of polyatomic molecules.
