Abstract
A nonperturbative theoretical method [1,2,3] has been generalized to compute rovibrational multiphoton excitation probabilities in small molecules [43. Preliminary investigation on CO showed, as expected, that very stringent laser tuning requirements would be necessary in order to excite higher rovibrational levels at intensities less than 1 MW/cm2. Consequently we have extended our investigations to higher intensity domains where power broadenings ofindividual lines become comparable to rotational splittings. In this intensity domain not only the excitations to higher rovibrational levels become significant but also novel higher order non-linear effects arise in the frequency absorption spectra.
