Schematic illustration of the dynamical Rabi coupling in strong-field dissociation of H₂⁺

Caption

Violet and orange curves denote the potential energy curves of the electronic ground (1sσg) and excited (2pσu) states, respectively. The yellow vertical arrow between the two curves indicates the resonant one-photon transition at Rω. The two insets sketch the looping and rolling processes during the molecular dissociation, marked by the gray frame. The dashed horizontal line marks the eigenenergy of the ν = 6 vibrational state of the 1sσg state.
