Abstract

In previous work 1 , 2 we have studied the photodissociation of a Ca2 molecule, yielding two Calcium atoms recoiling in opposite directions, one in the first resonant 1P1 state (Ca*) and one in the ground state (Ca). Either atom can actually be excited and subsequently reemit the resonance photon ħωo (λo = 422,7 nm), so one must consider two paths for the whole process (ωL refers to the dissociating light, here the 406.7 nm violet line of a Krypton laser).
