We study the H＋CH4/CD4-＋H2/HD＋CH3/CD3 reactions using the time sliced velocity map ion imaging technique. Ion images of the CH3/CD3 products were measured by the （2＋1） resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization （REMPI） detection method. Besides the CH3/CD3 products in the ground state, ion images of the vibrationally excited CH3/CD3 products were also observed at two collision energies of 0.72 and 1.06 eV. It is shown that the angular distribution of the products CH3/CD3 in vibrationally excited states gradually vary from backward scattering to sideways scattering as the collision energy increases. Compared to the CH3/CD3 products in the ground state, the CH3/CD3 products in vibrationally excited states tend to be more sideways scattered, indicating that larger impact parameters play a more important role in the vibrationally excited product channels.
We report the preparation of D2 molecules in v=2 level in molecular beam condition. A single longitudinal mode laser system was used for excitation of D2 from （v=0, j=0） to （v=2, j=0） with the scheme of stimulated Raman pumping. An excitation efficiency of 25.2% has been achieved, which was determined by the scheme of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ion- ization. Dependence of relative excitation efficiency on laser energy has been measured. We found that the increasing rate of excitation efficiency became slower as pulse energy of Stokes laser increase, while the excitation efficiency still increases approximately linearly with pump pulse energies up to 60 mJ. The spectral line shapes of Raman transition was also measured at different laser energies and considerable dynamical Stark effect was observed. A single peak was found on the three dimension surface of relative excitation efficiency, indicating the process occurred in the present study is a process of stimulated Raman pumping instead of stimulated adiabatic Raman passage.
