A previously derived classical model for describing the interaction of molecular systems with high power IR lasers has been used to obtain the collision induced absorption spectrum of a state-selected, monoenergetic reactive collision system. The spectrum can be written as the Fourier transform of a particular dipole correlation function, and both the correlation function and the absorption spectrum are considered. Examples treated are a one-dimensional barrier problem, reactive and nonreactive collisions of H+H/sub 2/, and a modified H+H/sub 2/ potential surface that leads to a collision intermediate.
