title: Comparison of multiple-photon excitation models.
abstract: Two recent detailed models of multiple-photon excitation in SF(6) are compared. By performing equivalent vibration-rotation calculations using the two different basis sets, we have found that the results are in complete agreement. Rotational effects in both cases completely overshadow the vibrational structure, making a triply degenerate anharmonic oscillator model sufficient for describing multiple-photon excitation in SF(6).
