Abstract
A simple model study of laser induced transitions between electronic surfaces in reactive molecular collisions has been undertaken. The investigation is characterized by laser and nonadiabatic couplings which are turned on during the course of a collision. Transition probabilities are determined within an exact quantum-mechanical framework, for switching between the model one-dimensional potential curves as a function of various system parameters. Such parameters include the photon energy, the reactant collision energy, and the coordinate separation between the positions of potential barrier maxima. The processes studied involve not only laser switching but, also, cooperative laser and nonadiabatic effects. A number of features of the results are emphasized.
