Photodissociation of cadmium diiodide was studied. The nascent vibrational distributionof CdI(X 2 Σ ) on the photodissociation of CdI 2 at 308 nm was determined by thelaser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. The temporal variation in the density ofCdI(X 2 Σ ) radicals was monitored and it was shown that second-order recombination reactionswere important under our experimental conditions. Both the ground and thehighly excited states of cadmium atoms were generated on photodissociation of CdI 2 . Themultiphoton absorption process for the production of highly excited Cd atoms is discussed.
