Introduction
• The spectrum of the C3 1Πu – 1Σg+ system was first observed in comets by
Huggins in 1882.• Its first laboratory study was reported in 1942 by Herzberg and his co-workers.
Since then many studies of the comet system of C3 have been carried out.
low bending frequency (63 cm-1) of the state Renner-Teller effect of the state (=0.35)
─ 1965, Gausset et al., vibrational and rotational analysis of the state.─ 1994, W. J. Balfour et al., more vibronic bands were reported.─ 2003, B. J. McCall et al., reassignment of the R(0) line of the (000-000) band.─ 2005, G. Zhang et al., perturbations of the ,000 state have been observed and analyzed.
• We have utilized the comet system to study the C3-Rg (Rg=Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe) van der Waals complexes (G. Zhang et al., J. Chem. Phys. 120, 3189(2004)). The states of these complexes are not well understood; the effect of the rare gas atom on the Renner-Teller effet of C3 has not been found.

Conventional polarization spectroscopy was obtained by modulating the fluorescence intensity by rotating the polarizer, which placed in front of the detector. And the Polarization Ratio (conventional) =
In this work, we simultaneously detect the fluorescence signals. The advantage is that shot-to-shot intensity fluctuation from the lasers can be minimized. The polarization ratio defined in this work is, Polarization Ratio =

Simultaneously solving Eqs. 1 and 2, the populations after the laser pulse (t)are,

Results and Discussion
• Difficulty of this experiment: due to our way of generating C3
molecules by photolyzing allene, it is difficult to keep initial C3
concentration constant.
• The transition probability of 100-000 band is about 1.4 times of
01+1-000 band.
•Qualitative understanding is possible at lower laser power. Further simulation is necessary.
Future Work
• Complete the polarization measurements of the C3 bands especially the high power regime.
• Apply fluorescence polarization study to characterize the C3-Rg bands.
