Abstract

The dissociative ionization (DI) of nitrogen dioxide in intense picosecond laser fields has been studied by measuring mass spectra at different wavelengths: 1064nm, 590nm and 532nm. The DI process is shown to depend on the laser wavelength in a significant way. Comparisons are made with the results of recent studies where it was suggested that laser pulse duration plays a crucial role in the DI of this molecule. In relation to these studies, we show that even for a single pulse duration (and with only one laser), it is possible to effect mass spectrometry of the parent molecular ion.
