Abstract
Abstract : Ions trapped in a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer exhibited enhanced Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) when irradiated sequentially by two carbon dioxide lasers using a novel IRMPD probe/pump photodissociation scheme. A low power pulsed (probe) laser tuned to a resonant infrared absorption band promoted trapped ions to vibrationally excited states, but had insufficient energy to cause photodissociation. Subsequent irradiation of the excited ions with a fixed- frequency, nonresonant, continuous wave (pump) laser induced photofragmentation. Photodissociation spectra were obtained by varying the wavelength of the probe laser. A novel White-type cell which dramatically enhances the effect of the probe laser has been designed and constructed for use with these experiments.
