The single path rotational structure ofn-photon transitions in diatomic molecules

Abstract

The present work considers the n-photon rovibronic transitions in the case where some predominant molecular path is present. Each molecular path produces a distinct rotational structure. The intensity of any rotational line as well the polarization intensity ratio are derived. A single path, relative weighting tensor is introduced which describes the influence of the molecular transitional path on the rotational structure.
