Hund’s coupling case sequences in resonant multiphoton transitions
Constantin Maïnos, M. C. Castex, H. Nkwawo · The Journal of Chemical Physics · 1990
Different Hund’s coupling case sequences are considered for the n1+n2 near resonant multiphoton rovibronic process in electric dipole allowed transitions of any spin multiplicity. The transitional path interferences strength tensor is introduced. This tensor involves a polarization and rotational dependence as well as a transitional path dependence which couples the electronic vibrational motion with the rotational structure. The intensity of a rotational line may decompose in terms of the matrix element of this tensor and a pure electronic vibrational tensor. The specificity of the coupling case sequence is found condensed in the rotational line factors which are explicitly determined for all the coupling case sequences obtained from the case (a) and case (b) coupling.
