Effect of pulse intensity distributions on fragment internal energy in the infrared multiphoton dissociation of vinyl cyanide

Journal Article · · J. Chem. Phys.; (United States)
A plasma shutter has been used to remove the less intense tail of a CO/sub 2/ laser pulse without otherwise altering the pulse characteristics. It is found that variations in the pulse intensity distribution control the rotational distribution of CN fragments formed in the IR photolysis of vinyl cyanide H/sub 2/C = CHCN.
