In this paper, the dephasing times of polydiacetylene (poly-3BCMU) were resolved at two wavelengths by degenerate four-wave mixing using incoherent light.
Abstract
Dephasing times in a polydiacetylene (poly-3BCMU) film were resolved for the first time at two wavelengths by degenerate four-wave mixing using incoherent light. The dephasing times, 30 fs at 648 nm and 130 fs at 582 nm, correspond to excitons in chains of the polymer with different conjugation lengths.

Relaxation dynamics of photoexcitations in polydiacetylenes and polythiophene

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relaxation dynamics of photoexcitations in cast films of polydiacetylenes, poly[4,6-decadiyne-1,10-diol bis([(n-butoxycarbonyl)methyl]urethane)] (PDA-3BCMU) and poly[5,7-dodecadiyn- 1,12-diox bis([n- butoxycarbonyl)methyl)urethANE)] (pDA-4BCMU), and in electrochemically prepared

Nonlinear optical properties of highly oriented polydiacetylene evaporated films

TL;DR: In this paper, the third-order harmonic generation was measured on highly oriented polydiacetylene (PDA) films prepared by the vacuum deposition method, and the potential usefulness of these highly oriented PDA evaporated films in nonlinear optical applications was suggested.

Chromatic studies of a polymerizable diacetylene hydrogen bonding self-assembly : A self-folding process to explain the chromatic changes of polydiacetylenes

TL;DR: In this article, a diacetylene compound (PDATAZ) was designed and synthesized, which readily formed a complementary hydrogen bonding self-assembly at the air−water interface or in the solid state with barbituric acid (BA) or cyanuric acids (CA), and revealed some important insights on the chromatic properties of polydiacetylenes.

The application of incoherent light for the study of femtosecond-picosecond relaxation in condensed phase

TL;DR: In this article, a convenient technique for the ultrashort-relaxation-time measurement using temporally incoherent light instead of short pulses can be applied to the studies of relaxation processes.

Observation of the triplet excited state of a conjugated-polymer crystal.

TL;DR: By studying a single crystal of polydiacetylene-toluene-sulfonate, the first identification of the triplet excited state of a conjugated polymer is made using the magnetic field dependence of the excited-state lifetime, measured by time-resolved optical absorption.

Subpicosecond photon echoes by using nanosecond laser pulses

TL;DR: In this paper, a sample was excited by two nanosecond dye laser pulses with a smooth and broad spectrum, and the dye laser was pumped by second harmonics of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser.
