Abstract

Summary form only given. CRLAS was developed in 1988 for spectroscopic applications by O´Keefe and Deacon. We have utilized this new approach to measure electronic spectra of laser-generated metal clusters, metal silicides, and infrared spectra of stable molecules and water clusters. A scan of a vibrational band of the water pentamer is shown. Theoretical considerations and some applications are discussed.
