Abstract:
We have recently proposed a methodology for reconstructing excited-state (ExS) molecular wavepackets, and the corresponding potential energy surface, from three-pulse resonant coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering and knowledge of the ground-state potential [Avisar and Tannor, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 170405 (2011)]. The methodology is general for polyatomics and applies to any form of ExS potential--bound or dissociative. In our previous work we demonstrated the method on diatomics. Here, we demonstrate the method on the triatomics H(2)O and HOD, reconstructing the ExS wavepacket and potential in the two bond-stretching coordinates.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
