"Pure-Beams" of Highly Vibrationally Excited Molecules

Authors: Alec M. Wodtke; CALIFORNIA UNIV SANTA BARBARA DEPT OF CHEMISTRY
Abstract:
The grant was used to purchase, construct, and install necessary instrumentation to implement Hexapole focusing of laser prepared vibrationally excited molecules. It consists of three differentially pumped chamber, for: (1) state preparation, (2) hexapole filtering and (3) detection. In addition two Yag-pumped dye laser systems were purchased from Spectra-Physics and Sirah, which allow stimulated emission pumping to prepare highly vibrationally excited states of molecules. We have also dedicated another existing Yag-pumped dye laser system to the project for REMPI and LIF detection of the focused molecules
