Optically Pumped Laser Action and Energy Transfer in Polyatomic Molecules.

Abstract

Energy transfer and chemical decomposition processes have been studied in a number of molecules using laser fluorescence and time resolved thermal lensing techniques. Vibrational relaxation of OCS, and vibrational energy exchange between isotopic species of CH3F, and the laser driven, CH3F sensitized decomposition of tetramethyl dioxetane have all been investigated.
