B. Fainberg et al., TRANSIENT POLARIZATION 4-PHOTON NON-CONDON SPECTROSCOPY OF ELECTRONIC-TRANSITIONS IN COMPLEX-MOLECULES, Journal of luminescence, 60-1, 1994, pp. 709-712
We show both theoretically and experimentally that resonance transient
grating spectroscopy (RTGS) is a good method for the investigation of
ultrafast solvation dynamics of large probe molecules in solutions. W
e have studied the solvation dynamics of LDS 750 in many solvents in a
broad time range by RTGS and by induced optical Kerr effect spectrosc
opy. We propose a new method for the investigation of non-Condon effec
ts in solvation: transient polarization four-photon spectroscopy.
