Femtosecond Time-Resolved Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy of the S(2) (1B(u)) Excited State of beta-Carotene.

The electronic and vibrational structure of beta-carotene's early excited states are examined using femtosecond time-resolved stimulated Raman spectroscopy. The vibrational spectrum of the short-lived ( approximately 160 fs) second excited singlet state (S(2),1B(u) (+))of beta-carotene is obtai...
