Strong impact of light-induced conical intersections on the spectrum of diatomic molecules

M Šindelka, N Moiseyev… - Journal of Physics B …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that dressing of diatomic molecules by running laser waves gives rise to conical
intersections (CIs). Due to the presence of such CIs, the rovibronic molecular motions are …
