"Pure-Beams" of Highly Vibrationally Excited Molecules

Abstract

The grant was used to purchase, construct, and install necessary instrumentation to implement Hexapole focusing of laser prepared vibrationally excited molecules. It consists of three differentially pumped chamber, for: (1) state preparation, (2) hexapole filtering and (3) detection. In addition two Yag-pumped dye laser systems were purchased from Spectra-Physics and Sirah, which allow stimulated emission pumping to prepare highly vibrationally excited states of molecules. We have also dedicated another existing Yag-pumped dye laser system to the project for REMPI and LIF detection of the focused molecules
