The ultrafast laser system is set up for combining laser and synchrotron
radiation pulses to perform a wide variety of pump/probe experiments in either
gas phase or condensed phase. Short temporal width of the laser pulse makes
possible the investigation of ultrafast relaxation phenomena using
time-resolved, two-photon excitation experiments.
The research interests cover the studies of the dynamics of the
photodissociation, photoionization/photoemission of radicals produced by the
photodissociation of molecules, and gas phase two-photon absorption
spectroscopy.
Major equipment includes a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser system modified to
operate synchronously with the synchrotron radiation pulses at TLS. Moreover,
the laser system provides a broad wavelength-tuning range (210nm -2.8
μm), intense photon flux (~5×10 18 photon/sec, max) with short pulse
width( <2×10 -12 sec).
