Abstract

Creation in recent years of ultrashort and femtosecond laser systems generating powerful IR-pulses has stimulated studies on substance behavior in a superstrong light field. In connection with molecules (the problems of highly excited molecules, laser chemistry, etc.) such laser pulses with wide spectrum are used for the creation of ensembles of highly excited molecules, up to their photoionization and photodissociation. What is the effectiveness of the excitation in this case? What can be said about the dynamics of excitation?
