Abstract
Many important molecular ions may be formed and identified by using the techniques of mass spectrometry. The molecular ion beams formed in a mass spectrometer are not sufficiently intense for direct detection of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation, but absorption spectra can be obtained by using laser sources and indirect methods of detection. The principles underlying the indirect methods are discussed and several examples described. Under favourable conditions, well resolved spectra can be obtained with high sensitivity. Possible developments involving infrared multiphoton dissociation of ion beams are discussed.
