Abstract
Experiments on the saturation behaviour of one and two photon transitions have been performed on a molecular beam of SF 6-molecules, using single mode cw CO 2-lasers. Application of an Acousto Optic Modulator allowed a total tuning range of 0.6 GHz around each CO 2 laser line. Numerous, partially new absorptions have been observed and are catalogued. From the assigned transitions on the 10P16 laser line a rotational Boltzmann plot was derived showing strong deviation from a thermal distribution. Transitions from the RAP regime, with inversion, to the Rabi regime, with power broadening, have been observed, utilizing opto-thermal detection. A clear two photon Rabi oscillation has been observed.
