Description

Femtosecond laser control of the chemical reaction of CO and H2 is studied. Specific high-value reaction products can possibly be produced selectively, without need for further separation or purification. In this work, we aim at controlling the reaction between CO and H2 to produce hydrocarbon products, of interest to the petrochemicals industry. Preliminary experimental results will be presented.
