In the frame of the time-dependent local-density approximation coupled nonadiabatically to molecular dynamics (MD), we explored the optical absorption strength and dynamics of a water dimer in intense laser pulses with different intensities. The optical absorption spectra of a water dimer exhibiting well marked and isolated peaks agrees well with the results obtained by ab initio MD simulations. Three typical possible reaction paths are exhibited, which are normal oscillation, OH bond break and Coulomb explosion, respectively. The ionic motion shows that the water donor and the bonded OH bond are more sensitive to the laser intensity. Moreover, the water donor determines the structural reorganization of the water dimer. It is also found that the larger intensity causes higher ionization and brings forward H-transfer.
