Here we investigate ultrafast internal conversion （IC） dynamics of furan by using this strategy in combination with femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging. The dark Rydberg S1 and bright valence S2 states are simultaneously excited by two photons of 405 nm, and then ionized by two photons of 800nm. The IC from S2 to S1 is clearly observed and extracted from the time dependence of the higher photoelectron kinetic energy （PKE） component. More importantly, the internal conversions to hot So from directly-prepared S1 and secondarily-populated S1 are unambiguously identified by the time-dependence of the lower PKE component. 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
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
