Abstract
The ground (2P03/2) and first excited (2P01/2) states of iodine atoms can absorb two photons at 304.7 and 306.7 nm, respectively, to reach 2D05/2 and 2D03/2 states. The excited atoms fluoresce twice, emitting an IR and then a VUV quantum. This is the basis of a new method for measuring the relative quantum yields of the two fine structure states at very short times after the atoms are formed. Quantum yields for I* production are reported for a number of alkyl halides and HI upon photodissociation.Keywords
