Abstract

The adiabatic theory requires the time scale of the changes in the Hamiltonian to be larger than the time scale of the changes in the system. The solution of the wave equation is expressed in terms of the instantaneous solutions. A formalism known as the adiabatic Floquet theory is being currently applied to describe photodissociation of molecules at high intensity in the optical range, where these conditions are not fufilled. We show how to justify this approach, and we use the direct solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation to confirm its validity.
