Abstract
A fully quantum treatment of the laser induced collisional energy transfer (LICET) processes, , where n = 3,4, is presented, which allows for non-adiabatic mixing between molecular states during the collision. LICET profiles have been calculated for both Lennard-Jones 12 - 6 and model adiabatic molecular potentials. The weak field LICET profiles obtained differ from those of conventional mixed metal vapour systems in that they are very broad, significantly shifted from zero detuning and exhibit novel complex resonant structure in the quasistatic wing. The profiles are very sensitive to the nature of the molecular potential at internuclear separations of less than and consequently differ greatly for the two sets of potentials used.
