Abstract

Mass spectra and ionization efficiencies of adenine were measured, with nanosecond (15 ns) and femtosecond (500 fs) laser pulses at identical energy levels. A molecular ion is clearly observed in both spectra, but the efficiency is improved 10-fold when a femtosecond laser is used, indicating the distinct advantage of ultrashort laser pulses for multiphoton ionization of nucleobases in supersonic jet spectrometry.
