Abstract

Summary form only given. We have studied the ions generated by the interaction of neutral C/sub 60/ molecules with high intensity femtosecond laser pulses using an ion time of flight spectrometer. The ion fragment distributions were examined over a range of focused intensities using both the fundamental and second-harmonic laser wavelengths of our Ti:sapphire laser system.
