Over many millennia, humankind has thought to explore phenomena on an ever shorter time
scale. In this race against time, femtosecond resolution (1 fs= 10− 15 s) is the ultimate …

The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practice of
timeresolved spectroscopy, for both UV-vis and IR-Raman spectroscopies. In addition, it has …

This anthology, which is adapted from the Nobel Lecture, gives an overview of the field of
Femtochemistry from a personal perspective, encompassing our research at Caltech and …

Photodissociation induced by the absorption of single photons permits the detailed study of
molecular dynamics such as the breaking of bonds, internal energy transfer and …

The Berlin Conference of March 1-4, 1993, on Femtosecond Chemistry focused on the
current advances made in experimental and theoretical studies in the field, particularly those …

The genesis of the exploration of electron transfer (ET) in the condensed phase dates back
to the origins of chemistry in the nineteenth century. In 1808 Humphry Davy observed [1] that …

The observation of coherent dynamics ensuing from the excitation of molecular systems by
femtosecond laser pulses is at the heart of femtochemistry. The time-dependent evolution of …

Rotational coherence spectroscopy (RCS), a time-domain approach to high-resolution
rotational spectroscopy, is becoming increasingly important as a means of obtaining …

Using ultrashort pulse multiphoton ionization, we launch a wave packet in the I 2 2+ state
that dissociates into the fragments I 2+ and I. We measure its multiphoton ionization …
