The infrved vibration transition ~2 of NH3 isolated in a nitrogen matrix at 8'K is excited by the R(L0) and R(12) lines of the OO?l-10'0 transition of a Q-switched CO2 laser. When the continuous wave CO\* laser, used as a probe, is at the s3me frequency as the pump, a short exponential decay of tran

✦ Synopsis
The vibrational relaxation of biacetyl following excitation by a highly intense laser pulse at lC.6 micron is studied. The changes in vibrational population are monitored by visible absorption from the ground electronic state to the excited n-n* state. The results indiatc that thermal disequilibrium persists for nt least 1O-5 seconds after the laser pulse at pressures in the range of I-40 torr.
The implimtions of these results for the use of high-power infrued lasers in inducing selective chemical reactions are briefly discussed.
