We investigate the multichannel dissociative ionization of ethanol in intense laser fields by the photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging and identify separately the ionization and subsequent electronic excitation in ethanol. From the energy correlation between a photoelectron and a fragment ion, we reveal the amount of the internal energy gained by ethanol cations from the laser field varies depending on the respective ionization and electronic excitation pathways.

We investigate dissociative ionization of ethanol induced by intense laser fields using photoelectron-photo ion coincidence momentum imaging. Our attentions are focused on the energy correlation between an electron and a fragment ion produced from an identical ethanol molecule. We reveal that the internal energy gained from laser fields depends on the ionization and fragmentation pathways. We discuss the ionization and dissociation mechanism based on the experimental results depending on the laser characteristics.

800 nm], and the produced electron and ion are measured in coincidence. The channel-specific photoelectron spectra correlated with the C-C and C-O dissociation channels show the series of distinctive above-threshold ionization (ATI) peaks, which are similar to those correlated with the parent ion production and C-H dissociation channels. These features imply that the electronic ground state of the parent ion is initially prepared at the moment of the ionization. On the other hand, for the linear polarization, the ATI series is less pronounced, and a diffuse structure become a dominant, which means that the electronically excited states of the parent ion are produced directly on the ionization. Based on the theoretical prediction, we will discuss the polarization dependence of the ionization dynamics.

In order to clarify the mechanism of dissociative ionization of ethanol in intense laser fields, the correlation maps P(E, E
), where E
and E
denote kinetic energy of an electron and a fragment ion, respectively, are obtained by photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging. The kinetic energy distribution of the ions at a specific electron kinetic energy of electrons E
are reproduced by an exponential curve of exp(-E
/E
), where E
is a variable parameter, suggesting that the intramolecular energy redistribution proceeds efficiently in the course of the dissociation process after the ionization.

When molecules are exposed to intense laser fields, dissociative ionization is efficiently induced and several decomposition pathways competes. The present study aims at revealing the correlation between the electronic states just after ionization and the following dissociation process. The photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging (PEPICO-MI) technique enables us to detect photoelectrons and photoions produced in a single event simultaneously. We applied PEPICO-MI to dissociative ionization of ethanol (CH
OH), whose branching ratio varies as a function of the laser pulse duration. When ethanol molecules are irradiated with a short laser pulse, photoelectron images strongly depend on the correlated product ions.

Photoionization dynamics of ethanol in two-color (400 and 800 nm) intense laser fields is investigated using photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy. It is found that the fragment ion CHOH
is formed dominantly through the ionization to the electronically excited state by the 400-nm pulse when a 400-nm pulse and a 800-nm pulse are temporally separated. When a 400-nm pulse is temporally overlapped with a 800-nm pulse, the ionization to the electronically excited state by the 400-nm pulse is significantly suppressed, indicating that the ionization channel to the electronically excited state is closed due to the AC stark up-shift by the 800-nm pulse.

In intense laser fields, molecules are decomposed into fragments through a number of competing dissociative ionization pathways. We investigate the dissociative ionization dynamics of ethanol in intense laser fields with photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging. The channel-specific photoelectron spectra reveal the electronic states prepared just after ionization, depending both on the decomposition pathways and on the temporal profile of laser pulses.

Recently, using a photoelectron-photoion coincidence momentum imaging apparatus, we found two possible pathways for the dissociative ionization of ethanol in intense NIR laser fields: one pathway is the direct access to the electronically excited states leading to the dissociation, the other is the stepwise excitation through the ionization to the electronic ground state. In this study, we investigate the dissociative ionization in intense UV laser with the same technique and compare the results with those with the NIR pulses.
