Abstract
We have observed efficient multiphoton excitation of CH3OH molecules by broadband pulsed YSGG:Cr:Er-laser radiation (λ=2.7 µm,τ p =60 ns, and Δνlas∼1.5 cm−1) at fluences of 0.3-600 J/cm2 under collisional and collisionless conditions. Multiphoton dissociation of CH3OH has been realized. We discuss the role of intermode interaction, the intensity of the laser radiation, and the laser bandwidth in the excitation process.
