Carotenoids are essential pigments in natural photosynthesis. They absorb in the blue–
green region of the solar spectrum and transfer the absorbed energy to (bacterio-) …

Advances in the field of Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (FSRS), a new time‐
resolved structural technique that provides complete vibrational spectra on the ultrafast …

The efficient conversion of light into electricity or chemical fuels is a fundamental challenge.
In artificial photosynthetic and photovoltaic devices, this conversion is generally thought to …

We give a full description of a state-of-the-art femtosecond transient spectrometer. The setup
has been put together under full consideration of all technical and conceptual developments …

This publication (12 chapters) covers stilbene preparation and analysis, chemical reactions,
photophysics, photoisomerization and photochemical reactions, as well as stilbene …

Dual fluorescence is an anomalous photophysical phenomenon observed in very few
chromophores in which a two-color radiative process occurs that involves two distinct …

This paper introduces a general theoretical description of femtosecond pump-probe
spectroscopy with chirped pulses whose joint spectral and temporal profile is expressed by …

Carotenoids are accessory pigments in photosynthesis that serve a range of functions such
as light harvesting, photoprotection, and structural stabilization. Such versatility is enabled …

Optical control of dynamic processes has been challenging yet has only been demonstrated
in several chemical and biological systems. The control of a reaction passing the widely …

We apply the adiabatic time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to the generation
of coherent optical phonons in Si crystals by intense laser pulses. The theory reproduces the …
