Abstract
Considering the functioning of the chlorosomal light-harvesting antenn a, the theory of noncoherent transfer of the energy of delocalized exc itation over an oligomeric antenna was developed, and the exciton dyna mics was studied as a function of antenna size. A picosecond in situ s tudy of exciton dynamics in antennae of varying size (determined micro scopically) demonstrated full consistency of the developed theory with the experiment.
