Abstract
The multiphoton dissociation probability of heteronuclear diatomic molecules by intense infrared radiation is calculated under the assumption that the energy level spacing of the molecule is nearly regular. The values found are in reasonable agreement with experimental dissociation thresholds. The extension of the theory to homonuclear diatomic and polyatomic molecules is discussed.
