Bound and dissociating wave packets were launched and subsequently probed via a pair of 8-fs pulses of 790 nm radiation. Ionic fragments from the dissociating molecules were monitored by velocity-map imaging. Pronounced oscillations in the delay-dependent kinetic energy release spectra were observed. The occurrence of vibrational revivals permits us to identify the potential curves of the O[subscript 2] dication which are most relevant to the molecular dynamics. These studies show the accessibility to the dynamics of such higher-charged molecules.en-USThis Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
