Abstract
The combination of high resolution (≲10-3 cm-1) cw tunable difference frequency generation, high sensitivity (≲10-6/√Hz) direct absorption methods, and long path length (2.54 cm) pulsed slit expansions provide a powerfully general technique for studying weakly bound complexes in a cold molecular beam environment. Transient absorption of the narrow band laser provides a nonintrusive probe of the quantum state, velocity, temporal and spatial dependence of cluster formation in the pulsed molecular beam. High resolution fundamental, combination and hot band spectra of ArHF, HFN2 and HFCO2 complexes are presented. Detailed information on the molecular structure is determined for vibrationally excited states which sample the potential energy surface far from the ground state, near equilibrium geometry.
