Quantum efficiencies for the production of electronically excited iodine atomsI(5p5P122)following laser photolysis ofI2near 5000 Å

Abstract
The production of electronically excited iodine atoms is observed by time-resolved atomic absorption spectroscopy following the dissociation of molecular iodine excited by a tunable dye laser to the BΠ0u+3 state above and below the thermochemical dissociation limit. The quantum efficiency is independent of excitation wavelength above the dissociation limit. Substantial yields of I(5P122) are found for excitation as much as 4.5kT below the dissociation limit.
