Abstract

Multiphoton photofragmentation of an “isolated” molecule on the lowest potential surface is considered in terms of a truncated anharmonic oscillator driven by a pulsed, intense laser field. Intramolecular vibrational relaxation and indirect photodissociation are accounted for by assignment of decay widths to the appropriate levels. The effective-hamiltonian formalism is applied to derive explicit expressions for the photofragmentation yield and for the isotopic separation factor.
