FIFTH VAVILOV CONFERENCE ON NONLINEAR OPTICS, NOVOSIBIRSK, JUNE 1977: Vibrational-translational relaxation in SF6 at high excitation rates
Acceleration (by a factor of 5–7) of the vibrational-translational relaxation in gaseous SF6 was observed experimentally on increase in the intensity of a CO2 laser beam which excited resonantly molecular vibrations.
