Laser Control of Chemical Reactions.

Abstract

A review of experimental results for laser control of chemical reactions is presented, with mention of corresponding theoretical progress. Two general classes of reactions are discussed: gas-phase reactions and reactions occurring at a gas-solid interface. For the first class the following topics are reviewed: state-selected reactions, new reaction pathways and transition-state spectroscopy. For the second class the following topics are reviewed: desorption, chemical vapor deposition, heterogeneous catalysis and microelectronics. (Author)
