Popis: Two different techniques, vacuum ultraviolet laser-induced fluorescence (VUV-LIF) spectroscopy and two-dimensional (2D) ion counting product imaging, have been used to determine the bond energy for the dissociation of jet-cooled O3 into O(1D)+O2(a 1Δg). The photofragment excitation (PHOFEX) spectrum for O(1D) products is recorded by detecting the VUV-LIF signal associated with the 3s 1D0–2p 1D transition at 115.22 nm while scanning the photolysis laser wavelength between 305 and 313 nm. A clear cut-off corresponding to the appearance threshold into O(1D)+O2(a 1Δg) is observed in this PHOFEX spectrum. The 2D image of the O(1D) products from the O3 photolysis near 305 nm is measured using an ion-counting method, with the detection of O(1D) atoms by [2+1] resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) at 205.47 nm. The kinetic-energy distribution obtained from the 2D image shows rotational structure due to the O2(a 1Δg,v″=0) fragment. The bond energy into O(1D)+O2(a 1Δg) has been obtained from the rotatio...
