Abstract
We report the collisionless infrared multiphoton excitation of NO2 molecules initially prepared in an electronically excited state. The infrared light induces a blue wing on the usual Stokes-shifted fluorescence spectrum. From the shape of the infrared induced fluorescence spectrum we have directly directly determined the absolute probability distribution P(n) for the net absorption of n photons.
