The authors examine the role of dynamic resonances in laser driven molecular fragmentation. The yields of molecular fragments can undergo dramatic changes as an impulsively excited dissociative wave packet passes through a dynamic resonance. The authors compare three different kinds of dynamic resonances in a series of molecular families and highlight the possibility of characterizing the dissociative wave function as it crosses the resonance location.
