We present observations of previously unreported excited-state wave packets in the methanol solvated oxazine dye LD690. We have been able to monitor the dephasing of certain excited-state wave packets despite complications caused by the presence of oscillations which originate from the ground state. We have also measured resonant impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (IRSR) from the solute without undue interference from nonresonant solvent ISRS. This allows us to demonstrate that the dominant contribution to the oscillatory features in the transient absorption experiments is from probe absorption/stimulated emission rather than from ISRS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
