Broadband infrared and Raman probes of excited-state vibrational molecular dynamics: simulation protocols based on loop diagrams.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vibrational motions in electronically excited states can be observed either by time and frequency resolved infrared absorption or by off resonant stimulated Raman techniques. Multipoint correlation function expressions are derived for both signals. Three representations which suggest different simulation protocols for the signals are developed. These are based on the forward and the backward propagation of the wavefunction, sum over state expansion using an effective vibrational Hamiltonian or a semiclassical treatment of a bath. We show that the effective temporal (Δt) and spectral (Δω) resolution of the techniques is not controlled solely by experimental knobs but also depends on the system dynamics being probed. The Fourier uncertainty ΔωΔt > 1 is never violated.

Time-resolved broadband Raman spectroscopies: a unified six-wave-mixing representation.
Excited-state vibrational dynamics in molecules can be studied by an electronically off-resonant Raman process induced by a probe pulse with variable delay with respect to an actinic pulse. We establish the connection between several variants of the technique that involve either spontaneous or stimulated Raman detection and different pulse configurations. By using loop diagrams in the frequency...
متن کاملThe separation of overlapping transitions in b-carotene with broadband 2D electronic spectroscopy
Broadband 2D electronic spectroscopy is applied to b-carotene, revealing new insight into the excited state dynamics of carotenoids by exploring the full energetic range encompassing the S0 ! S2 and S1 ! S1n transitions at 77 K. Multiple signals are observed in the regime associated with the proposed S⁄ state and isolated through separate analysis of rephasing and nonrephasing contributions. Pe...

The dispersive lines observed in time-resolved femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), using a pair of 809 nm, 3 ps Raman pump, and 840-960 nm ultrashort probe pulse, for the first 500 fs photoisomerization dynamics in the excited state of bacteriorhodopsin, BR* (S(1)), created by a prior 500 nm, 35 fs actinic pump pulse, have previously been attributed to Raman initiated by nonlinear...
متن کاملVibrational polarization beats in femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy: A signature of dissociative pump–dump–pump wave packet dynamics
Knopp et al. @J. Raman Spectrosc. 31, 51 ~2000!# have recently used resonant femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy ~CARS! to prepare and probe highly excited vibrational wave packets on the ground electronic potential surface of molecular iodine. The experiment uses a sequence of three resonant femtosecond pulses with two independently variable time delays. The first two pulses ac...
متن کاملProbing the Conical Intersection Dynamics of the RNA Base Uracil by UV-Pump Stimulated-Raman-Probe Signals; Ab Initio Simulations
Nonadiabatic electron and nuclear dynamics of photoexcited molecules involving conical intersections is of fundamental importance in many reactions such as the self-protection mechanism of DNA and RNA bases against UV irradiation. Nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy can provide an ultrafast sensitive probe for these processes. We employ a simulation protocol that combines nonadiabatic on-the-fly...
