8 Ultrafast Ionization and Fragmentation: From Small Molecules
201
In conclusion, fundamental studies on the strong-field interaction between femtosecond lasers and large organic molecules has resulted in important analytical
tools that may one day advance diverse fields such as drug discovery and medical
diagnosis.
Acknowledgements The instrument used for the fs-LID work was funded by grant 156 of the
21st Century Jobs Trust Fund of the SEIC Board from the State of Michigan. Additional support
comes from grant CRIF ID 0923957 from the National Science Foundation. The results presented
here would not be available without the work of very talented colleagues. We specifically thank
Professors Gavin E. Reid and A. Daniel Jones who collaborated in the initial development of the fsLID method. We are also thankful for the careful and persistent work on the effects of pulse shaping
on molecular fragmentation by Xin Zhu, and the analysis and suggestion of multiple experiments
by Dr. Vadim V. Lozovoy,
