Coherent Vacuum Ultraviolet in Chemical Physics

Abstract: Abstract. Methods of generating coherent vacuum ultraviolet radiation by frequency mixing techniques are reviewed. The theory and methodology of four-wave mixing in gas mixtures is discussed and some representative methods for generating coherent light in the range from 900 Ato 2000 A are described. In the last section some recent applications of these VUV sources to chemical physics will be outlined.

“…Groundand excited-state Br have been monitored in a crossed beam experiment131 by excitation with coherent vacuum ultraviolet radiation produced by frequency mixing. 151 There has been considerable interest in the development of 2-photon excitation schemes for the detection of atoms in order to avoid the use of vacuum ultraviolet light. Most of the atoms on the right-hand side of the periodic table have now been detected by 2-photon A'n + 2s Figure 3.…”

“…The size of the VUV beam could not be measured directly, but from the size of the visible beams one can estimate that it was -4 mm in diameter in the middle of the photolysis cell. Absolute pulse energies were not measured, but the observed sensitivity for CO detection and the performance of other systems of nearly identical design 33 indicate that there were between lOll and 10 12 VUV photons in each 5 ns long pulse. The VUV light path was purged with argon to prevent attenuation by air.…”

“…Diffusional processes are represented by the Warburg impedance (Z w ), which can be related to blockage of oxygen diffusion paths by corrosion products. [5][6][7] For a nondegraded polymer-coated metal system, before the interface becomes active, only the external circuit (R s , R f , C f ) will be observed experimentally. With time, however, the inner circuit (R ct , C dl , Z w ) may also become active, and this is the source of a second time constant.…”
