Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy for single trapped molecular ions

The vibrational dynamics of single molecular ions confined in a coulomb crystal are followed by 4 fs ultraviolet pulses. Theoretical calculations predicted the optimal laser parameters for a successful experiment under background free conditions. The ions are subject to internal heating, which has t...
