Description:
Rotational spectra have traditionally been measured without a concurrent means of differentiating the molecular constituents of the sample. Here, we present an all-optical multipulse experiment that allows the correlated measurement of rotational and mass or photoelectron spectra by combining Fourier transform rotational coherence spectroscopy with resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. We demonstrate the power of this method with the determination of ground-state rotational constants and fragmentation channels for 10 different isotopes in a natural carbon disulfide sample. Three of the reported rotational constants were previously inaccessible by conventional spectroscopic techniques.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schroter, Christian -- Kosma, Kyriaki -- Schultz, Thomas -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Aug 19;333(6045):1011-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1204352.
