The photofragments are detected by multiphoton ionization using an intense laser field centered at 800 nm. A dissociation time of 3804-50 fs was measured from the rising time of the co-fragments of toluene radical （C7H7） and iodine atom （I）, which is attributed to the averaged time needed for the C-I bond breaking for the simultaneously excited nσ and ππ＊ states by 266 nm pump light. In addition, a probe light centered at 298.23 nm corresponding to resonance wavelength of ground-state iodine atom is used to selectively ionize ground-state iodine atoms generated from the dissociation of initially populated hσ＊ and ππ＊ states. And a rise time of 4004-50 fs is extracted from the fitting of time-dependent I＋ transient, which is in agreement with the dissociation time obtained by multiphoton ionization with 800 nm, suggesting that the main dissociative products are ground-state iodine atoms.展开更多
Ultrafast dissociation dynamics of chloroiodomethane （CH2ICl） in the B band is studied by femtosecond time- resolved time-of-flight （TOF） mass spectrometry.

Time-resolved TOF mass signal of parent ion （CH2ICl＋） and main daughter ion （CH2Cl＋） are obtained. The curve for the transient signal of CH2ICl＋ is simple and can be well fitted by an exponential decay convoluted with a Gaussian function. The decay constant determined to be less than 35 fs reflects the lifetime of the B band. Significant substituent effects on photodissociation dynamics of CH2IC1 compared with CH3I are discussed. The dissociation time from the parent ion CH2IC1＋ to the daughter ion CH2Cl＋ is determined in the experiment. The optimized geometry of the ionic state of CH2ICl and the ionization energy are calculated for further analysis of the measurements. In addition, compared with the parent ion, a new decay component with time constant of -596 fs is observed for CH2Cl＋, and reasonable mechanisms are proposed for the explanation.展开更多

The effect of the delay time between the femtosecond single- and dual-color laser pulses is discussed, and the physical mechanism of the enhancement of molecular orientation with pre-alignment of the molecule is investigated. It is found that the basic mechanism is based on the creation of a rotational wave packet by the femtosecond single-color laser pulse. Furthermore, we investigate the interference between multiple rotational excitation pathways following pre-alignment with femtosecond single-color laser pulse. It is shown that such interference can lead to an enhancement of the orientation of CO molecule by a factor of 1.6.展开更多

Here we investigate ultrafast internal conversion （IC） dynamics of furan by using this strategy in combination with femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging.

The average lifetime of the S2 and S1 states is measured to be 29 fs. The internal conversions of S2 to S1, S1 to hot So occur on estimated timescales of 15.4 fs and 38 fs, respectively.展开更多
