The optical pumping process in IR multiphoton induced unimol. reactions was studied by measuring the pressure dependence of the reaction yield as a function of the laser energy fluence and pulse shape. The dissocn. of SF6 is taken as a model reaction. Rate consts. for optical pumping near the reaction threshold were directly proportional to the laser intensity for the range of conditions applied.
