Abstract

Green function techniques are used to develop a simple and efficient method towards the calculation of optical absorption, excitation, and dispersed fluorescence spectra of large harmonic polyatomic molecules. The molecular line shapes are expressed in terms of Fourier transforms of appropriate correlation functions which may be explicitly evaluated. Closed expressions are derived for a general harmonic molecule with two electronic states including equilibrium displacements, frequency changes, and Dushinsky rotation, within the Condon approximation. A simple method for extracting the complete set of parameters characterizing the ground and the electronically excited states from supersonic beam absorption and emission spectra is presented. Detailed calculations are performed for a model system with ten vibrational modes, and the sensitivity of the various experimental observables to Dushinsky rotation is analyzed.
