Abstract
Tunable coherent vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) has been very successfully applied to the study of chemical dynamics in recent years. This VUV has provided a very sensitive, state-selective means of detecting products of chemical processes occurring at very low pressure, i.e. in molecular beam conditions. As examples, coherent VUV has been used to detect products of reactions carried out in crossed molecular beams1, and to study inelastic scattering from surfaces2. More recently, coherent VUV has been applied to the study of state-to-state photofragmentation dynamics of H2CO 3, (HCO)2 4 and OCS 5.
