We studied the ultrafast photodissociation dynamics of molecules in an VUV-pump VUV-probe scheme using a Michelson-type all-reflective interferometric autocorrelator realized with two moveable interdigitated reflective gratings. An imaging time-of-flight spectrometer is used for separating ions formed in different diffraction orders in the focal plane. In the setup, 18 fs VUV pulses centered at 161.8 nm are created in a variable-length gas cell driven by a Ti:Sa laser and spectrally selected for driving non-resonant two-photon ionization processes. With the fringe-resolved 2nd order autocorrelation in Kr the pulse duration of the VUV pulses was determined. With well-characterized VUV pulses, photo-reaction dynamics of molecular gas targets like O2 are studied.
