Atomic-resolution imaging of carbonyl sulfide by laser-induced electron diffraction
Abstract
Measurements on the strong-field ionization of carbonyl sulfide molecules by short, intense, 2~\um wavelength laser pulses are presented from experiments where angle-resolved photoelectron distributions were recorded with a high-energy velocity map imaging spectrometer, designed to reach a maximum kinetic energy of 500~eV. The laser-field-free elastic-scattering cross section of carbonyl sulfide was extracted from the measurements and is found in good agreement with previous experiments, performed using conventional electron diffraction. By comparing our measurements to the results of calculations, based on the quantitative rescattering theory (QRS), the bond lengths and molecular geometry were extracted from the experimental differential cross sections to a precision better than ~pm and in agreement with the known values.
