Abstract
In this chapter the molecular structure dependence of strong field induced dissociation in CO\(_2\) is investigated. In particular, the dissociative excitation of CO\(_2^+\) was studied in the molecular frame as a function of probe laser intensity, ellipticity and polarisation direction with respect to the molecular bond.
