Photofragment imaging experiments

Figure 9.10 Exampleofion-velodtymappingofproducts in a photofragmentation experiment. Top photofragment recoil for molecular transitions with fi parallel or perpendicular to the laser field polarization E, and subsequent extraction of ionized fragments. Middle inverse Abel-transformed image of the velocity distribution of ionized D atoms produced in the photolysis of DI at A = 205 nm. Bottom angular and velodty distributions extracted from the ion image map for the D -EI and D -E I fragmentation channels. Data adapted from McDonnell and Heck J.
