Abstract
Collisionless multiphoton dissociation (MPD) of polyatomic molecules is now a well-known subject in quantum electronics. The process has been shown to be isotopically selective and rather efficient. It has also been suggested as a potential method for exciting mode-control unimolecular reactions for chemical synthesis. Since there already exist a number of extensive review articles on the subject [1], we shall not discuss here in any detail what has already been established, but shall limit ourselves to the most recent progress in our understanding of the subject.
