چکیده
The density of rotational transitions for a polyatomic molecule is so large that in general many such transitions are hidden under the Doppler profile, this being a fundamental limit of conventional high resolution electronic spectroscopy. We present here the first Doppler-free cw two-photon spectrum of a polyatomic molecule. In the case of benzene, 400 lines are observed of which 300 are due to single rotational transitions, their spacing being weil below the Doppler profile. The resolution so achieved is 1.5 X 10'. Benzene is a prototype planar molecule taken to have D •• symmetry in the ground as weil as in the first excited state. From our ultra-high resolution results it is found that benzene in the excited SI state i8 a symmetrical rotor to a high degree. A negative inertial defect is found for the excited state. The origin of this inertial defect is discu8sed.

Vibrationally resolved electronic spectra are reported for the diatomic cations Tel and Bi: using the technique of resonance-enhanced photodissociation spectroscopy (REPD). These ions are generated by laser vaporization in a pulsed nozzle source, jet-cooled, mass-selected with a reflectron time-of-flight spectrometer, and dissociated on resonance with a tunable dye laser. Electronic excitation ...

Observation of laser-induced electronic structure in oriented polyatomic molecules
All attosecond time-resolved measurements have so far relied on the use of intense near-infrared laser pulses. In particular, attosecond streaking, laser-induced electron diffraction and high-harmonic generation all make use of non-perturbative light-matter interactions. Remarkably, the effect of the strong laser field on the studied sample has often been neglected in previous studies. Here we ...
متن کاملOn the structure of hot absorption spectra of polyatomic molecules: solvent effect on the transition energy gap.
Hot absorption spectra of polyatomic molecules may exhibit a characteristic shoulder. Its origin and connection to the 0-0 transition energy gap has been established on the basis of a recently developed quantum-classical approach. We demonstrate that an accurate estimate of the transition energy can be obtained directly from experimental data. The method can be used to study the solvent influen...
