Abstract

A three-state model for calculating the cross section of laser-induced dipole-quadrupole collisional energy transfer in Sr-Ca system is presented. The motion equations for the probability amplitudes of the three intermediate states are obtained. The expression of the cross section is derived. Various factors including field intensity, relative speed, system temperature which influence the collisional cross section are discussed to illustrate the features of the dipole-quadrupole laser-induced collisional energy transfer (LICET)process. Calculating results show that the peak of the LICET profiles moves to the red, the tuning range of the profiles obviously becomes narrower with the laser field intensity increasing and a cross section of 1.25 × 10⁻¹³cm² at a laser intensity of 8.29 × 10⁹W/cm² is obtained. Our results indicate that dipole-quadrupole LICET process can be the effective way to transfer energy selectively from a storage state of arbitrary parity to a target state of arbitrary parity.
