Water: vibrationally mediated photodissociation OH( A ~ 2 S + ) ~ LIF A 1 B 1 ~ OH( X 2 P ) + H v OH = 4,0- v=0 ~ H2O (X A ) 1 1
The quantum beat approach: Coherently detect excited molecules t P(t, E, ) J,K M Wait… Coherently prepare excited molecules

Energy Level Diagram Double Resonance 1. Gain in excitation efficiency: 0.5 * 0.5 = .25 vs 10-n (double resonance) (direct transition) 2. Rotational pre-selection => simple assignment
Results for vOH=9: 111 211 Rotational selection rules: DJ = 0, ±1, Dka = 0, Dkc = ±1 = 211
More results for vOH=9…
Results for vOH=10: x 50 More lines… S/N >3000
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TOO MANY TO THANK INDIVIDUALLY BUT THANKS TO ALL!
