We observed rubidium dimer destruction by excitation of rubidium vapor with diode laser light tuned across the Rb D₂ resonance line in a 2400 GHz tuning interval. The destruction was measured for rubidium atom concentrations in the (1--9)×10¹⁶0.3em0excm^-3 range, pump beam power up to 43 mW, and with a 5 Torr of the helium buffer gas. We discuss the physical mechanisms involved and specify the molecular pathways which may effectively lead to the observed dimer destruction.
