Abstract
In this communication, we discuss the interest of the infrared free-el ectron laser (CLIO) for measurements of vibrational relaxation rates a t the picosecond scale by a one-color pump-probe experiment. We report the results of preliminary experiments involving small molecules (CO, CO2) in low-temperature argon matrices and intermediate-size molecule s (acetonitrile, ben zonitrile) in room-temperature CCl4 solutions.
