✦ Synopsis

We report a direct observation ofthe temporal evolution of coherently excited intramolecular normal-mode vibrations in chloroform and carbon tetrachioride using a time-resolved analog of optically heterodyned Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (OHD RIKES). The observed tetraherz oscillations are well described in terms of independently evolving harmonic oscillators driven through a stimulated Raman process involving the different Fourier components of the 75 fs laser pulse. * These results were presented at the International Quantum Electronics Conference (IQEC), Baltimore, MD, USA (April 29, 1987).

The time-resolved optical Kerr effect was used to probe the ultrafast relaxation of four halogenated methanes, CHC&, CBrCl,, CHBr, and CFBr3. A 65 fs coherent laser pulse from a synchronously pumped antiresonant ring dye laser with Fourier components ranging over 300 cm-' is separated into a pump an
