Abstract: | Stimulated Raman spectroscopy is used to probe the photoexcitation dynamics of CO2-laser-excited SF6 in a molecular free-expansion jet. Time-dependent depletion of rotational levels in the ground state is observed by monitoring the ν1 Raman spectrum at various delay times after the CO2-laser excitation pulse. Optical Stark shifts are also seen, at short delay times, arising from resonances of the IR laser pulse with ν3 transitions from both ground and ν1 = 1 states. Molecules excited to the ν3 = 1 level are detected by scanning the ν1 + ν3 ? ν3 hot band. A direct determination of the anharmonicity X13 = ?2.910 ± 0.002 cm?1 is thus obtained. |
