Description

We have measured the velocity distribution of a Na2 supersonic beam by a time of flight method in which a chopped beam from an argon ion laser depopulates a single vibration--rotation level of the Na2 ground electronic state, and a continuous laser beam further downstream is used to detect the arrival of the tagged molecules by observation of changes in the laser-induced fluorescence
