Abstract
Ionization spectroscopies have long been known to be extremely sensitive methods for detecting small number densities of molecular or atomic species. In this paper, we report on the first extension of a well-known nanosecond laser ionization technique into the picosecond and femtosecond time regimes [1, 2]. We present below data exemplifying the utility of this type of measurement for the study of ultrafast intramolecular relaxation processes. Finally, we discuss special interpretative considerations relevant to work in this area [1–4].
