Populations of vibrationally excited 1,1,2-trifluoroethane molecules have been prepared using a CO₂ laser. The characteristics of the populations are being investigated through the use of three experimental techniques: collision-free multiphoton dissociation, optoacoustic measurements of absorbed laser energy, and infrared fluorescence from the excited molecules. A single Master Equation is used to simulate all three experiments and infer the population distributions formed by multiphoton absorption. From this treatment, information will be obtained on collisional energy transfer and on the effects of vibrational energy on bimolecular reactions.
