Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The experiments use an infrared-ultraviolet double resonance technique. Tunable pulses of IR radiation from an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) promote molecules to specific rovibronic levels and a tunable UV laser is used to follow the kinetics and pathways of relaxation via LIF techniques. The laser requested in this proposal is required to pump the dye laser providing the UV radiation. The basic double resonance method will provide information on the relaxation of HCN and C2H2. In parts (ii) and (iii), the behaviour of species created by pulsed photolysis either in unusually high rotational levels or in the presence of reactive collision partners will be examined.
