Quantum Dynamical Model of Laser/Surface-Induced Predissociation: Multiphoton-Multiphonon Processes and Photon/Phonon-Dressed States.

Abstract

By the dynamical energy populations of photon/phonon-dressed quantum system, laser-stimulated surface predissociation (LSSPD) of an adsorbed diatomic molecule, characterized by the laser pumping rates, the phonon-induced damping factor (level width), the field detuning, and the phase detuning (Landau-Zener form), is studied. The optimal detunings for the enhancement of LSSPD are shown by the numerical results of a set of coupled generalized quantum equations (GQE). The important features of LSSPD and the possible predissociation of a multilevel multistate system via multiphoton-multiphonon processes are discussed. (Author)
