Popis: Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) of gaseous polyatomic molecules using 266-nm (4.7 eV) pump and 42-nm (29.5 eV) probe pulses is presented. A 1-kHz Ti:sapphire laser with a 35 fs pulse duration is employed to generate high harmonics in Kr gas, and the 19th harmonic (42-nm) was selected using two SiC/Mg mirrors. Clear observation of the ultrafast electronic dephasing in pyrazine and photoisomerization of 1,3-cyclohexadiene demonstrates the feasibility of TRPES with the UV pump and VUV probe pulses under weak excitation conditions in the perturbation regime.
