Abstract
The optical emission spectrum of laser-desorbed C-60 has been investig ated as a function of laser fluence for desorption with a KrF excimer laser (pulse length 20 ns). The observed spectra show close similariti es to black-body radiation and can be fitted with the Planck black-bod y formula, thus giving information on the temperature of the fullerene beam. The temperatures of approximately 3000 K which are obtained are in good qualitative agreement with previous, indirect temperature est imates.
