Abstract

We have used few-cycle IR and EUV laser pulses in pump-probe arrangement to trace out the dissociation pathways in CO when exploded by strong laser fields. We present two preliminary sets of data of different pump pulses. In these sets, different excited state of CO cations are populated using (< 10 fs) IR, and EUV pulses respectively. We followed the time evolution of these states using the time-resolved Coulomb explosion imaging technique. We compare the time evolution of IR- and EUV-induced excited states by measuring the KER of the fragment ions as a function of the time delay between the pump and the IR probe pulse.
