Abstract

Exact analytical expressions are derived for the expected dissociation yield in bulk infrared photolysis experiments; these results are based on a power-law fluence-dependent model of infrared multiple-photon dissociation as applied to the interaction of a focused, Gaussian-profiled pulsed laser with a medium.
