| Description: |
Optical sources exploiting resonant dispersive wave (RDW) emission are set to revolutionize ultrafast science. We demonstrate this approach by investigating excited state dynamics in morpholine using time-resolved photoelectron imaging. Excitation at 250 nm was achieved via RDW emission inside a helium-filled capillary fibre which, when combined with a short 800 nm probe, realized an instrument response of just 11 ± 2 fs. Two pathways initiate N–H bond fission: an extremely fast ( |
