✦ Synopsis


Time-resolved intensity patterns of state-selected photofmgments in velocity space can be probed by the laser sheet illumination and two-dimensional imaging techniques. A physical model is developed to correlate the photodissociation dynamics and image patterns from this direct method. Slicing an expand@, spherical shell of state-selected photofragments by the pulsed laser sheet at a displaced position and various delay times relative to the photolysis event, we simulate numerically the resultant image frames in velocity space. To accommodate realistic experimental conditions, intensity patterns which take into account contributions from a Gaussian sphere and an assembly of photolysis centers on an arc are presented.
