Abstract
Anti-Stokes and Stokes resonance Raman excitation profiles have been o bserved for the C=C and C-C stretching fundamental bands of carotenoid s (beta-carotene and canthaxanthin) and analyzed on the basis of the F ranck-Condon mechanism. It is shown that such an analysis provides a m ethod for identifying the vibrational levels on which vibrationally ex cited molecules observed in picosecond pump-probe processes are popula ted.
