January 18, 2002 Kees Uiterwaal Science Magazine (Editors' Choice) CHEMISTRY: White Lights, Broken Molecules Excitation of molecules with ultrashort laser pulses has revealed many insights into chemical dynamics, but some processes are more readily stimulated with continuum, or white light, pulses that span a broader frequency range. Müller et al. fired 80-femtosecond, 800-nanometer-wavelength pulses through a 2-millimeter-thick CaF2 plate into toluene vapor. Increasing the pulse intensity broadened the pulses through self-phase modulation, and these broadened pulses fragmented the toluene molecules. Higher intensity monochromatic pulses left the molecules intact. The authors conclude that the broadened pulses stimulated Raman-active carbon-carbon bonds to such an extent that the backbone framework shattered. -- PDS •References: Science 295, 409 (2002). Phys.
