Time dependent calculations of the absorption spectrum of a photodissociating system with two interacting excited electronic states

Abstract
We use a time dependent method for solving the Schrödinger equation to calculate the photon absorption cross section for the photodissociation of a model H+3 system. The coupling V between the excited states is found to alter the absorption cross section if the time scale ℏ/V is less than the dissociation time. The influence of the relative orientation of the transition dipoles, on the absorption spectrum, is also investigated.
