Picosecond Photo-Chemistry and Spectroscopy in Supersonic Beams

Abstract

In this article we describe the development and the applications of the picosecond-jet technique, which utilizes a picosecond laser and a supersonic jet beam of large molecules. The applications include studies of coherence (quantum beats), photodissociation, isomerization, intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and partial solvation.
