Abstract

Using two-frequency technique for the multiple photon dissociation of OsO4 molecule by IR laser radiation, the following new results have been obtained: 1. the narrow resonances of multiple photon absorption on few low lying vibrational transitions have been found in the dissociation yield as a function of exciting frequency ν1; 2. the structure of the dissociation yield as a function of dissociating frequency ν2 connected with high lying vibrational transition has been studied; 3. the kinetic of the vibration relaxation of high vibrationally excited molecules was investigated; 4. the unimolecular character of the multiple photon dissociation of OsO4 has been proved.
