Pressure and power dependence in the infrared laser photolysis of 1-chloro-1-fluoroethylene experiment and modeling calculations

Dissociation of 1-chloro-1-fluoroethylene following infrared multiphoton excitation was monitored via infrared fluorescence of the products, either HCl* or HF*. Total dissociation yield and branching ratio were monitored as functions of pressure and photolytic intensity. It is shown that a rate equations model of the excitation and dissociation process are consistent with both sets of data.
