Abstract

A theory of internal conversion between two displaced harmonic modes is shown to imply that the coupling strength increases with the initial excess vibrational energy. The same molecule (or collision pair) can exhibit both weak and strong coupling (i.e. both enhancement and retardation of the conversion probability by the initial vibrational energy).
