The reaction microscope: imaging and pulse shaping control in photodynamics.

Herein, we review the current capabilities and potential of advanced single-particle imaging techniques to study photodynamics in isolated molecules. These reaction microscopes are able to measure the full three-dimensional energy and angular distribution of (correlated) particles such as electrons and molecular fragments ejected after photoexcitation of molecules. In particular, we discuss the...

Toward elucidating the mechanism of femtosecond pulse shaping control in photodynamics of molecules by velocity map photoelectron and ion imaging.

The control of photofragmentation and ionization in a polyatomic molecule has been studied by femtosecond chirped laser pulse excitation and velocity map photoelectron and ion imaging. The experiments aimed at controlling and investigating the photodynamics in CH(2)BrCl using tunable chirped femtosecond pulses in the visible wavelength region 509-540 nm at maximum intensities of about 4x10(13) ...

By way of apology for the impenetrability of the text, Healy points the non-psychopharmacologist reader to his The antidepressant era (Harvard University Press, 1997), but even so, much that would be of genuine interest to the medical historian will, ...
