Title: Imaging an aligned polyatomic molecule with laser-induced electron diffraction

Abstract

Laser-induced electron diffraction is an evolving tabletop method that aims to image ultrafast structural changes in gas-phase polyatomic molecules with sub-Ångstro¨m spatial and femtosecond temporal resolutions. Here we demonstrate the retrieval of multiple bond lengths from a polyatomic molecule by simultaneously measuring the C–C and C–H bond lengths in aligned acetylene. Our approach takes the method beyond the hitherto achieved imaging of simple diatomic molecules and is based on the combination of a 160 kHz mid-infrared few-cycle laser source with full three-dimensional electron–ion coincidence detection. Our technique provides an accessible and robust route towards imaging ultrafast processes in complex gas-phase molecules with atto- to femto-second temporal resolution.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Laser-induced electron diffraction from aligned C2H2 molecules using a mid-infrared OPCPA source and a reaction microscope. The cartoon film shows the procedure. (a) The C2H2 molecules are pre-aligned by focusing the 1.7μm pump pulse (blue) into a molecular jet. (b) The 3.1 μm pulse (red) is used tomore » generate high-energy electrons that subsequently rescatter off the parent ion. (c) The rescattered electrons carry structural information of the parent ion that is contained in the detected angular momentum distributions. The anticollinear electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields guide the charged fragments towards opposing position-sensitive detectors.« less
