DNA owes its remarkable photostability to its building blocks—the nucleosides—that
efficiently dissipate the energy acquired upon ultraviolet light absorption. The mechanism …

We combine sub-20 fs transient absorption spectroscopy with state-of-the-art computations
to study the ultrafast photoinduced dynamics of trans-azobenzene (AB). We are able to …

The generation of few-femtosecond pulses with high energy and tunable spectrum in the
ultraviolet region is an ongoing challenge in ultrafast optics. Harnessing the cross-phase …

We combined sub-30 fs broadband transient absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet with
state-of-the-art quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations to study the ultrafast …

We present a transient absorption setup combining broadband detection over the visible–
UV range with high temporal resolution (∼ 20 fs) which is ideally suited to trigger and detect …

We describe a transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy system in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral
range, for the study of the ultrafast optical response of biomolecules. After reviewing the …

Few–cycle short–wave infrared (SWIR) pulses are useful tools for research on strong–field
physics and nonlinear optics. Here we demonstrate the amplification of sub–cycle pulses in …

The light-induced double-bond isomerization of the visual pigment rhodopsin operates a
molecular-level optomechanical energy transduction, which triggers a crucial protein …

Photoinduced processes in thiouracil derivatives have lately attracted considerable attention
due to their suitability for innovative biological and pharmacological applications. Here, sub …

Using as showcase the DNA dinucleotide 5′-dTpdG-3′, in which the thymine (T) is
located at the 5′ end with respect to the guanine (G), we study the photoinduced electronic …
