Ultrafast dynamics of o-fluorophenol studied with femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy

The ultrafast dynamics of o-fluorophenol via the excited states has been studied by femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging. The photoion and photoelectron spectra taken with a time delay between 267 nm pump laser and 800 nm probe laser provide a longer-lived S1 electronic state of about ns timescale. In comparison,the spectra obtained by exciting the S2 state with femtosecond laser pulses at 400 nm and ionizing with pulses at 800 nm suggest that the S2 state has an ultrashort lifetime about 102 fs and reflects the internal conversion dynamics of the S2 state to the S1 state.     

Two-Photon Excited State Dynamics of Dark Rydberg and Bright Valence States in Furan

Two-photon absorption in systems with parity permits access to states that cannot be directly prepared by onephoton absorption. Here we investigate ultrafast internal conversion(IC) dynamics of furan by using this strategy in combination with femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging. The dark Rydberg S_1 and bright valence S_2 states are simultaneously excited by two photons of 405 nm, and then ionized by two photons of 800 nm. The IC from S_2 to S_1 is clearly observed and extracted from the time dependence of the higher photoelectron kinetic energy(PKE) component. More importantly, the internal conversions to hot S_0 from directly-prepared S_1 and secondarily-populated S_1 are unambiguously identified by the time-dependence of the lower PKE component.The average lifetime of the S_2 and S_1 states is measured to be 29 fs. The internal conversions of S_2 to S_1, S_1 to hot S_0 occur on estimated timescales of 15.4 fs and 38 fs, respectively.

Wavelength-tunable ultrashort-pulse output of a photonic-crystal fiber designed to resolve ultrafast molecular dynamics

Wavelength-tunable 100 fs pulses generated through the soliton self-frequency shift in a photonic-crystal fiber are employed to visualize femtosecond coherence and population relaxation dynamics in molecular aggregates by means of time-resolved sum-frequency generation. This technique reveals an ultrafast dephasing of coherent molecular excitations with a phase relaxation time of about 120 fs and resolves an ultrafast switching of the nonlinear-optical response of molecular aggregates.     

Rapid internal conversion in a symmetric molecule LD 700 studied by means of femtosecond fluorescence depletion

The rapid internal conversion dynamics at room temperature is determined by using the femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence depletion measurements of a complex solvated molecule of LD 700 (rhodamine 700) combined with steady-state absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as quantum chemical calculation. The molecule is excited by a 50fs laser pulse at 400nm which directly populated the highly excited singlet state, the rapid internal conversions (ICs) are observed, which leads to the directional changes of the emission transition moment following photoexcitation to the highly excited singlet state S₅ of LD 700.     

Femtosecond time-resolved difference absorption spectroscopy of all-trans-β-Apo-8′-carotenal

The femtosecond time-resolved difference absorption spectra of all-trans-βApo-8′-carotenal have been recorded and analyzed by the singular-value decomposition (SVD) method followed by global fitting using a sequential model for the excited-state energy relaxation. With this model, we have obtained the excited-state absorption spectra and the lifetimes of the corresponding excited states both in nonpolar solvent n-hexane and polar solvent methanol. Three excited states, namely S3(170fs), S2(2.32ps) and S1(26ps) in n-hexane, and two excited states S2 (190fs) and S1(9.4ps) in methanol have been observed. The excited-state absorption spectra of all-trans-β-Apo-8′-carotenal in methanol display a red shift and broadeness, while the lifetime of S1 state becomes shorter. It is proposed that these effects are related to the presence of a carbonyl functional group that leads to the solvent effect on the excited-state energy level. At the same time, it is shown that the SVD method is a useful tool in resolving the time-resolved absorption spectra.     

Ultrafast time-resolved coherent degenerate four-wave-mixing spectroscopy for investigating molecular dynamics in different states

In this paper, ultrafast time-resolved coherent degenerate four-wave-mixing (DFWM) spectroscopy is performed to investigate molecular dynamics in the gaseous phase. Laser pulses lasting for 40 fs are used to create and monitor different vibrational eigenstates of iodine at room temperature (corresponding to a low saturation pressure of about 35 Pa). Using an internal time delay in the DFWM process resonant with the transition between the ground X-state and the excited B-state, the vibrational states of both the electronically excited and the ground states are detected as oscillations in the DFWM transient signal. The dynamics of either the electronically excited or ground state of iodine molecules obtained are consistent with the previous high temperature studies on the femtosecond time-resolved DWFM spectroscopy.     

Photoinduced electron transfer of Rhodamine 6G/N,N-diethylaniline revealed by multiplex transient grating and transient absorption spectroscopies

The dynamics and spectroscopic characteristics of the ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer (ET) of Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G⁺) in N,N-diethylaniline (DEA) were studied using femtosecond time-resolved multiplex transient grating and transient absorption spectroscopies. The ultrafast photoinduced forward ET from DEA to the Rh6G⁺* cation radical excited state has a time constant of τ _FET = 219–318 fs. The much slower backward ET from the neutral radical Rh6G^· to DEA⁺ with a time constant of τ _BET = 22.76–42.31 ps occurs in the inverted region. Intramolecular vibrational relaxation of the excited state takes place in τ _IVR = 2.18–6.91 ps.
