Abstract
The two photon photodissociation of H2O, D2O (C̃1B1) from individually selected J'Ka'Kc' rotational levels in the (000) vibrational level has been investigated experimentally using a line‐narrowed, tunable KrF laser. The results establish a strong dependence on the magnitude of 〈Ja'2〉1/2 ≅ Ka', both for the heterogeneous predissociation path and for the subsequent branching on the β1'A1 potential at the Renner‐Teller intersection with Ã1B1 near linearity.Keywords
