ABSTRACT
We report results of femtosecond laser induced desorption of NO from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite using XUV photon energies of hν = 38 eV and hν = 57 eV. Femtosecond pulses with a pulse energy of up to 40 µJ and about 30 fs duration generated at FLASH are applied. The desorbed molecules are detected with rovibrational state selectivity by (1 + 1) REMPI in the A(2)Σ(+) â X(2)Π Î³-bands around λ = 226 nm. A nonlinear desorption yield of neutral NO is observed with an exponent of m = 1.4 ± 0.2. At a fluence of about 4 mJ/cm(2) a desorption cross section of σ(1) = (1.1 ± 0.4) × 10(-17) cm(2) is observed, accompanied with a lower one of σ(2) = (2.6 ± 0.3) × 10(-19) cm(2) observable at higher total fluence. A nonthermal rovibrational population distribution is observed with an average rotational energy of
