Eigenfunction expansions for time dependent hamiltonians
We describe a generalization of Floquet theory for non periodic time dependent Hamiltonians. It allows to express the time evolution in terms of an expansion in eigenfunctions of a generalized quasienergy operator. We discuss a conjecture on the extension of the adiabatic theorem to this type of systems, which gives a procedure for the physical preparation of Floquet states. *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A3418380 00004
Vibrational and rotational collisional relaxation in CO2–Ar and CO2–He mixtures studied by stimulated Raman-infrared double resonance
0021-9606; The collisional relaxation among vibrational levels of the Fermi dyad of CO2 mixed with Ar and He (10% CO2, 90% rare gas) has been studied at room temperature with a double resonance experiment. Stimulated Raman effect from the ground state achieved the pumping process with a Nd:YAG laser and a pulse amplified dye laser. After pumping the v(1) or 2v(2)(Sigma(+)g) level, a cw CO2 laser was used to probe either the depopulation rates of the pumped levels (vibrationally or rotationally resolved) or the energy transfer rates to neighboring states. The vibrational energy relaxation has been studied from experimental depopulation of v(1) and population of 2v(2) levels through a five-le…
Line mixing in the ν1 and 2ν2 isotropic Raman Q-branch of CO2 perturbed by argon and helium
0021-9606; The shapes of the ν1 and 2ν2 isotropic Raman Q-branch of CO2 perturbed by argon and helium have been measured by Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (SRS) or coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) techniques. The data have been successfully analyzed with an energy corrected sudden (ECS) approximation model based on basic rates determined independently. Finally comparison of the present data with time resolved double resonance experiments allows us to discuss the physical origin of the two empirical constants which account for the shift and broadening of the branch due to vibrational effects.

A direct study of the vibrational bending effect in line mixing: The hot degenerate 1110 ← 0110 transition of CO2
Abstract The study of the isotropiv Raman Q -branch of a hot band Π ← Π allows one to establish a direct connection between the vibration-rotation angular momentum coupling and the resulting spectra. Due to the l -doubling, the Q -branch is split into two subbranches characterized by either even or odd rotational quantum number j . The vibrational bending reduces the rotational transfer rates inside each of these subbranches by a factor of about two and induces an inter-subbranch coupling. The expected propensity rule towards conservation of the parity index for high rotational levels is well observed. Calculated spectra are in excellent agreement with CARS experiments for the v 1 + v 2 ← v…
