Laser Diagnostics of Reaction Product Energy Distributions... [Pg.728]

In this chapter we review in some detail the results of our reaction dynamics studies employing various types of lasers to probe the formation of reaction products in different internal quantum states—electronic, vibrational, and rotational, depending on the processes investigated and on the diagnostic techniques used. Two different laser probing methods are used in this work they are resonance absorption and fluorescence methods using a cw CO laser and a tunable dye laser, respectively. [Pg.85]

In addition to laser fluorescence excitation, several other laser spectroscopic methods have been found to be useful for the state-selective and sensitive detection of products of reactive collisions resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization [58], coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering [M], bolometric detection with laser excitation [30], and direct infrared absorption [7]. Several additional laser techniques have been developed for use in spectroscopic studies or for diagnostics in reacting systems. Of these, four-wave mixing [ ] is applicable to studies of reaction dynamics although it does have a somewhat lower sensitivity than the techniques mentioned above. [Pg.2082]
