T. Walther et al., UV-IR DOUBLE-RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY OF JET-COOLED PROPYNAL DETECTED BY THE FLUORESCENCE DIP METHOD, Chemical physics letters, 231(1), 1994, pp. 64-69
Pulsed UV-IR double-resonance spectroscopy was implemented to demonstr
ate IR absorption spectroscopy in electronically excited polyatomic mo
lecules by fluorescence dip detection, using jet-cooled propynal (HCCC
HO) excited to the first excited singlet state S1 as an example. This
method opens the possibility to study the spectroscopy and dynamics of
rovibronic states which are not accessible in one-photon transitions
or are non-fluorescing.
