RESUMEN
A two-wavelength interferometer (TWI) based on a sinusoidal-phase-modulation method with an acetylene stabilized laser and a second harmonic generation (SHG) was developed. The periodic non-linearity error for the TWI was estimated to be ± 0.1 µm at a dead path of 0.32 m. A long-term measurement showed that the TWI stability was ± 3 × 10(-7) at a dead path of 1.00 m for 12 hours with an ambient pressure variation of 3 hPa under controlled conditions of ambient temperature and humidity. Finally, we confirmed that the TWI has substantially better stability than a single-wavelength interferometer by comparing both interferometers with large temporal and spatial temperature variations.
RESUMEN
The N2(+) states lying in the ionization region of 26-45 eV and the dissociation dynamics are investigated by high-resolution threshold photoelectron spectroscopy and threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy. The threshold photoelectron spectrum exhibits several broad bands as well as sharp peaks. The band features are assigned to the N2(+) states associated with the removal of an inner-valence electron, by a comparison with a configuration interaction calculation. In contrast, most of the sharp peaks on the threshold photoelectron spectrum are allocated to ionic Rydberg states converging to N2(2+). Dissociation products formed from the inner-valence N2(+) states are determined by threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy. The dissociation dynamics of the inner-valence ionic states is discussed with reference to the potential energy curves calculated.
