Abstract
We have observed the phenomenon of two−photon dissociation of water using a tunable uv laser beam and the generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH) as a dissociation product. This phenomenon affords a new way for measuring the quenching rates of electronically excited OH due to nitrogen, water, and other molecules under atmospheric conditions.Keywords
