Using tunable femtosecond laser pulses, we report the first measurements of the kinetics of formation of the initial photoproducts of dark-adapted bacteriorhodopsin (approximately 50% all-trans and 50% 13-cis, 15-cis retinal) and compare these results with those obtained for light-adapted bacteriorh
Transient, vibrationally resolved fluorescence spectra measured by femtosecond up-conversion are recorded for the dye nile blue in methanol solution. The time evolution of the fluorescence band position involves a subpicosecond decay followed by the wellknown solvatochromic relaxation. The timing of
## Abstract Preliminary experiments using PerotβFabry interferometers demonstrated the possibility of filtering selectively the fluorescence background from Rayleigh scattering excited by 25 ps pulses. Experiments aimed at extending the technique to spontaneous, Raman scattering are in progress. Th
## Abstract This work evaluates a femtosecond fiber laser for use in twoβphoton fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy. Fiber lasers present an attractive alternative to Ti:Sapphire systems because of their compact size and portability. Autocorrelation of the second harmonic generation signal from t
The picosecond fluorimetry technique is used to determine directly the short lifetimes of metatloporphyrin (rr. rr\*) states. The Sr + Se and Sa + Se fluorescence of Cd and Lu tetrabenzoporphyrins is studied. For completeness, Zn tetrabenzoporphyrin fluorescence is dealt with using more traditional
