Abstract :
This study shows the construction of a highly accurate pulse shaping system to adaptively optimize the pulse shape while measuring the fragmentation processes and to systematically change a number of selected parameters of optical pulses in order to examine the dependences of fragmentation processes on those parameters. The pulse shaping system has been applied to dissociative ionization experiments of ethanol molecules.
