Abstract

We present wavepacket dynamics simulations of above threshold dissociation (ATD) in Na2+ and Li2+. We consider resonant two-photon processes in which both the intermediate and the final state belong to the dissociative continuum. We show that in both molecular ions ATD experiments can be planned with moderately high laser intensities. If a vibrational initial state other than v = 0 is selected and/or a two-color excitation is envisaged, a wider range of processes can be observed, such as interference phenomena and Rabi oscillations between continuum states.
