Severely perturbed vibrational structure in the 266–310 nm electronic transition of C3
The laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of C3 are measured under jet-cooled conditions in the wide UV region of 266–310 nm, and 173 vibronic bands are identified. Among them, 77 and 68 vibro...

Vibrational wave packets in the B 1Piu and D 1Sigma<sub>u</sub><sup>+</sup> excited states of Cs2 have been studied on the ~100 fs time scale by pump–probe laser spectroscopy. The temporal behavior of the wave packets was monitored by photoionizing the electronically excited molecule with a time-delayed probe pulse and recording the time and energy-integrated photoelectron signal as a function of time delay between the pump and probe pulses. For the B 1Sigma<sub>u</sub><sup>+</sup> experiments, wave packets were produced by exciting the B 1Sigma<sub>u</sub><sup>+</sup><--X 1Sigma<sub>g</sub><sup>+</sup> transition in the ~740–790 nm region and subsequently detected by photoionizing the molecule at wavelengths between 565 nm and 600 nm. By simulating the experimentally observed transients with the density matrix formalism (and explicitly accounting for laser chirp and |Deltav|>1 coherences), improved values for the equilibrium internuclear separation for the Cs2(B 1Piu) state and Te for the Cs<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup>(X) state were determined to be Re(B 1Piu) = 4.93±0.03 Å and Te[Cs<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup>(X)] = 29 930±100 cm–1, respectively. Similar experiments were conducted for the D 1Sigma<sub>u</sub><sup>+</sup> state. Wave packets composed of vibrational levels (v[prime][approximate]40–50) perturbed by the bound 2 3Piou state were produced on the D 1Sigma<sub>u</sub><sup>+</sup> potential surface by driving the D 1Sigma<sub>u</sub><sup>+</sup><--X 1Sigma<sub>g</sub><sup>+</sup> transition in the 575–610 nm spectral interval. ©2000 American Institute of Physics.
