摘要
Control over the product branching ratio in the photodissociation of Na-2 into Na(3s) + Na(3p) and Na(3s) + Na(3d) is demonstrated using a two-photon incoherent interference control scenario. Ordinary pulsed nanosecond lasers are used and Na-2 is at thermal equilibrium in a heat pipe. Results show a depletion in the Na(3d) product of at least 25% and a concomitant increase in the Na(3p) yield as the relative frequency of the two lasers is scanned.
