We show the details of the pathway for dissociative ionization process of ground electronic state of aligned D$^{+}_{2}$ due to first ionization of D$_2$ in short ($ thicksim$100 fs) and intense ($4.0
We show the details of the pathway for dissociative ionization process of ground electronic state of aligned D$^{+}{2}$ due to first ionization of D$2$ in short ($\thicksim$100 fs) and intense ($4.0\times10^{14}$ W cm$^{-2}$) 480 nm laser pulses. The initial vibrational state of D$^{+}{2}$ comes from the vertical transformation of the ground state of D${2}$. The initial wavepacket in the ground electronic state of D${2}^{+}$ is outgoing through dissociation-ionization channel accompanied by a strong coupling between $1s \sigma{g}$ and $2p \sigma_{u}$ electronic states. We show explicitly that the transition from the coupling states $1s \sigma_{g}$ and $2p \sigma_{u}$ to the ionization state is not a direct transition but takes place through other intermediate states with some dissociation energy that results in the internuclear distribution of the ionization to move considerably to larger internuclear distances.
