摘要： Femtosecond laser-induced dissociation and Coulomb explosion of polyatomic molecule C_2H_6 were systematically investigated using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and a chirped pulse amplifier laser. With the laser intensity varying from 2.4×10^{15}W/cm^{2} to 1.2×10^{16}W/cm^2, strong molecular ions C_2H_n^+ (n=0－6) and atomic ions C^{m+} (m=1－3) signals were observed. The double-peak structure of atomic ions indicated the occurrence of Coulomb explosion. Compared with the nearly isotropic distribution of C^{+}, highly charged ions C^{m+} (m=2－3) exhibited a sharply anisotropic angular distribution, which was attributed to the geometric alignment.

Abstract: Femtosecond laser-induced dissociation and Coulomb explosion of polyatomic molecule C$_2$H$_6$ were systematically investigated using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and a chirped pulse amplifier laser. With the laser intensity varying from $2.4\times10^{15}$W/cm$^{2}$ to $1.2\times10^{16}$W/cm$^2$, strong molecular ions C$_2$H$_n^+$ ($n$=0－6) and atomic ions C$^{m+}$ ($m$=1－3) signals were observed. The double-peak structure of atomic ions indicated the occurrence of Coulomb explosion. Compared with the nearly isotropic distribution of C$^{+}$, highly charged ions C$^{m+}$ ($m$=2－3) exhibited a sharply anisotropic angular distribution, which was attributed to the geometric alignment.
