LOW POWER IR PHOTODISSOCIATION OF THE ETHYLENE DIMER
M.A. Hoffbauer, W.R. Gentry and C.F. Giese in Laser-Induced Processes in Molecules, Springer-Verlag Series in Chemical physics, vol. 6, K. Kompa and S. D. Smith, Editors, 1980--in press.Author Institution:The photodissociation band of ethylene dimmer has been measured with low power cw radiation from a laser. In contrast to the pulsed laser , the band consists of a relatively narrow line, FWHM = . More than 60% of the dimer is photodissociated when the P(10) line at interacts with the dimer beam for 340 sec with a power density of 18 watts/. (The transition is not saturated at the maximum power available.) The power dependence of the photodissociation yield indicates that the one-photon process has a . The photodissociation yield fits a Lorentzian line profile consistent with a rate of sec. No power dependence of the line shape is observed. Analogous results will be presented for and
