Abstract

The adiabatic following model of two-photon coherent excitation of Grischkowsky, Loy and Liao has been extended to multiphoton excitation using projection operator techniques. The solutions of the generalized Bloch equations are given in the sudden switching, adiabatic following and steady state limits. The theory is used to discuss various models of collisionless multiphoton dissociation of polyatomic molecules.
