Interstate mixing

Deviations from the above simple model will be used to show the further application of laser PES to the study of state perturbations and non-radiative processes. If a selected resonant intermediate level is significiantly mixed with another level, the Franck-Condon factors for both "isolated levels will contribute to the vibrational structure in the PES [3]. Variations in the PES as the laser is scanned over rotation band structure can be used to determine the rotational dependence of the interstate mixing matrix elements. State-to-state relaxation can also be seen by the time dependence of the PES. As the time between the state preparation and its subsequent ionization is increased, the non-radiative flow of energy amongst the coupled levels will be illustrated by the changes in the PES [4].

Now several thousands of laser lines are known which span the whole spectral range from the vacuum-ultraviolet to the far-infrared region. Of particular interst are the continuously tunable lasers which may in many cases replace wavelength-selecting elements, such as spectrometers or interferometers. In combination with optical frequency-mixing techniques such continuously tunable monochromatic coherent light sources are available at nearly any desired wavelength above lOOnm. 

In 1995, the power of the federal government to set speed limits within state borders was successfully challenged, and each state became free to set the speed limit on those sections of interstate highway within its boundaries. Within a year, 23 states had raised their limits to 70 or 75 mph (120 km/h). Analyses show substantial increases in fatalities in these states, with interpretation needing to be qualified somewhat by regional differences in population, topography, and traffic flow and mix between states that stayed with 65, dropped to 55, or rose to 70 or higher. ...
