The generation and dynamics of self-localized excitations in polyacety
lene following a resonant fs pulse after introduction of some nucleati
on centres are calculated using the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We obt
ain and investigate soliton pairs with an oscillating dipole moment an
d localized breathers. Furthermore, the linear photoinduced absorption
is calculated and discussed in random phase approximation using the i
nstantaneous eigenstates.
