Abstract

The technique of photofragment imaging is described, and several examples of the power of the technique are presented. Two-dimensional images of state-selected photofragments from the photodissociations of CD3I and H2S illustrate how photofragment imaging reveals β parameters, brancing ratios, Doppler profiles and vector correlations. Comparisons are made with Doppler profiling and one-dimensional time-of-flight techniques.
