摘要
The fraction of molecules that can be vibrationally excited is often the limiting factor in many infrared laser excitation experiments, in particular, when using weak absorption bands. Reported here is a simple multipass reflector designed to overcome that obstacle. Its enhancement in pumping efficiency is demonstrated in a crossed-beam scattering experiment on the Cl+CH(2)D(2) (v(1) or v(6) = 1) reactions. Compared to a double-pass arrangement, the effective laser fluence for excitation is also characterized. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
