SIMULTANEOUS FLUORESCENCE EXCITATION AND DIRECT ABSORPTION OF JET-COOLED AZULENE

Author Institution: Pearson Chemical Laboratories, Department of ChemistryThe $\triangle = \tilde{\nu}$ ($cm^{-1}$)= (0,662,668,919,1299) Vibronic bands of the $S_{2}$ electronic state of Azulene seeded in a pulsed He jet, were studied using simultaneous measurement of laser absorption and laser induced fluorescence. Some discussion of $\phi_{f}$ measurements and non-radiative decay rates will be presented
