Transient spectral holes have been burnt in the lowest optical transition of zinctetrabenzoporphyrine in polymethylmethacrylate. The recovery at the frequency of the hole center was found to be nonexponential. Spectral diffusion models were used to explain these findings and the temperature dependen

✦ Synopsis
Spectral diffusion of the S, tSo O-O transition (a) of bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a) as guest in the glasses ethanol (EtOH), triethylamine (TEA), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) and diethylether at low temperature has been studied by transient and permanent hole burning with a single-mode GaAlAs diode laser at = 780 nm. Transient holes decay on a time scale of about 100 ms, determined by the triplet-state lifetime of BChl a. Their widths are compared to those of permanent holes probed on a time ' 3*0.' scale of minutes; both follow a T temperature dependence between 1.2 and 4.2 K and extrapolate to the fluorescence lifetime-limited value for T+O. The amount of spectral diffusion, derived from the difference in width of permanent and transient holes over a time span between z lo-$ and 2: IO2 s, strongly depends on the glassy host.

The homogeneous optical dephasing times (T,) and the non-photochemical hole burning (NPHB) linewidths of resorutin in glycerol glass are reported from 1.1 to 25.5 K. At low temperature, the linewidths obtained from NPHB are substantially wider than the linewidths (l/x T2) obtained from photon echo m
