Acceleration of neutral molecular beams by an IR laser
A method is proposed for accelerating neutral molecular beams. It involves exciting the molecules with intense IR laser light in the zone of gasdynamic expansion at the exit from a nozzle. The results of a corresponding study are reported. This method can produce intense molecular beams with a kinetic energy > 1 eV. It can be combined with aerodynamic acceleration. © 1995
