Resolving Strong Field Dynamics in Cation States of Co_2 Via Optimised Molecular Alignment

by Malte Oppermann

Book Overview

This thesis presents an experimental study of the ultrafast molecular dynamics of CO_2 + that are induced by a strong, near-infrared, femtosecond laser pulse. In particular, typical strong field phenomena such as tunneling ionisation, nonsequential double ionisation and photo-induced dissociation are investigated and controlled by employing an experimental technique called impulsive molecular alignment. Here, a first laser pulse fixes the molecule...
