Summary
A broad-band CARS set-up has been employed to investigate on-line benzene fragmentation due to multiple-photon processes induced by different laser radiation in IR (CO2-laser), in the visible (II harmonic Nd:YAG laser) and in the UV (N2 laser). Collisional induced formation of C2 has been demonstrated also in the absence of optical breakdown.
