studied by numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and both rotational and vibrational
degrees of freedom are taken into account. The interference stabilization against the dissociation process is
found to take place in a strong field and is shown to result in trapping of population in different rotational-vibra-
tional bound states due to efficient Raman V- and
-type transitions. The interplay between the vibrational and rotational dynamics of a molecule is investigated. The dissociation suppression due to the interference mecha-
nism and all its attributes are established in the case of multiphoton coupling between the initial state and dis-
sociation continuum.
