Optical–optical double-resonance spectroscopy of autoionizing states of water
نویسنده
چکیده
Double resonance excitation of vibrationally autoionizing states of the water molecule has been performed for the first time. Tunable, coherent vacuum ultraviolet light was used to excite selected rotational levels of the C̃ B1 state with one quantum of symmetric stretch vibrational energy ~100!, from which ~100! Rydberg states were excited with a second dye laser. The Rydberg character of the C̃ B1 state leads to strong vibrational selectivity for the ~100! states in the second transition; therefore, the resonances due to these states are greatly enhanced compared to the case of direct excitation from the ground state, and spectrally simplified due to the well-defined angular momentum of the intermediate state level. The spectra show unexpected peaks which might be attributable to significant 1-mixing in the C̃ B1 state as well as the presence of interloping linear states. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~97!02539-7#

Fabrication and Characterization of the Fiber Optical Taper for a Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor
For a fiber optical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor a short part of its cladding should be removed to coat a thin layer of a metal. Usually this is problematic when an optical fiber with small core diameter is used. In this paper, a new method using µliter droplet of the HF acid for short fiber optical taper fabrication is reported. Using this method in a multi-mode optical fiber w...
متن کاملDouble-resonance spectroscopy of quasi-linear Rydberg states of water
We have studied quasi-linear autoionizing Rydberg states of the water molecule with three quanta of bending vibration using double-resonance excitation through the quasi-linear (Ã)3pb2 state. The use of double resonance resulted in vibrational and rotational selectivity which led to simple, easily understood spectra. We have identified and performed an analysis on one ns series and two nd serie...

متن کاملRotationally resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of autoionizing states of water
Rotationally resolved photoelectron spectra are reported for rovibronically state-selected autoionizing levels of water. These photoelectron spectra are helpful for the spectroscopic assignment of the autoionizing levels and provide considerable dynamical information on the mechanisms for the transfer of energy and angular momentum between the ion core and the Rydberg electron. As a result of a...
