Sensitivity to anharmonicity of vibrational energy in a diatomic gasdynamic laser

摘要

A parameter for evaluating the sensitivity of quantum vibrational energy to anharmonicity in a diatomic gasdynamic laser is defined and calculated by considering the corresponding diatomic molecules as quantum anharmonic oscillators under an interatomic Morse potential. The variation of the above parameter in terms of the vibrational states and in terms of an involved anharmonic coefficient is discussed. In particular, the parameter in question at the classical limit is examined. Both weak and strong anharmonicities are discussed.
