Abstract

Results are presented of the experimental study of the dynamic characteristics of the laser fragmentation/laser-induced fluorescence (LF/LIF) process in nitrobenzene and para-nitrotoluene vapors under synchronized two-pulse laser irradiation. The efficiency of the LF/LIF method can be increased by several times if the time delay between the pulses of fragmentation (248.4 nm) and excitation (247.87 nm) of NO fragments is in the range 20–40 ns.
