Abstract:
The dependence of multiphoton infrared absorption by SF6 molecules, cooled in a supersonic pulsed jet, was investigated in the collisionless excitation regime in the range of energy densities from 0.1 to 10 J/cm2. A study was also made of the dependence of the yield resulting from dissociation of SF6 molecules at T=300 K on the intensity (duration) of exciting CO2 laser pulses. The dependences of the ratios of the absorbed energy to the dissociation yield on the excitation radiation frequency were obtained for different pulse intensities.
