Journal ArticleDOI

Excess electrons in liquid water: First evidence of a prehydrated state with femtosecond lifetime

TL;DR: In this article, the localization and solvation of excess electrons in pure water have been resolved at the femtosecond time scale, where the electron thermalizes and reaches in 110 fs a localized state absorbing in the infrared.
Journal ArticleDOI

"Dressed excitons" in a multiple-quantum-well structure: Evidence for an optical Stark effect with femtosecond response time.

TL;DR: In this article, a very large high energy shift of exciton resonances in GaAs multiple-quantum-well structures is observed during irradiation of the sample with femtosecond nonresonant radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Femtosecond spectroscopy of electron transfer in the reaction center of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides R-26: Direct electron transfer from the dimeric bacteriochlorophyll primary donor to the bacteriopheophytin acceptor with a time constant of 2.8 +/- 0.2 psec.

TL;DR: In this paper, the primary light-induced charge separation in reaction centers from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides R-26 was investigated after excitation with laser pulses of 150 fsec duration within the longwave absorption band of the primary donor at 850 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of spatially incoherent short pulses in laser-pumped neodymium stoichiometric crystals and powders

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed mirrorless quasi-monochromatic laser sources made of stoichiometric neodymium compounds (Nd0.75:La0.25P4O15 and NdCl3· 6H2O) pumped by nanosecond laser pulses and found that short sub-nanosecond and narrowbandwidth (0.15-nm) pulses are generated in both compounds when they are pumped at high intensities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Femtosecond spectroscopy of excitation energy transfer and initial charge separation in the reaction center of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis

TL;DR: Reaction centers from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas viridis have been excited within the near-infrared absorption bands of the dimeric primary donor, of the "accessory" bacteriochlorophylls (B), and of the bacteriopheophytins (H) by using laser pulses of 150-fsec duration, and it is found no indication that an accessory bacterio chlorophyll is involved as a resolvable intermediary acceptor in
