Abstract

The optical response of a chromophore coupled to a collective Gaussian solvation coordinate with a different curvature of the ground- and excited-state surfaces is studied. Exact expressions are derived for the time-dependent Stokes shift assuming an arbitrary solvent spectral density. Deviations from Onsager’s linear fluctuation–dissipation relations between the Stokes shift and equilibrium fluctuations are discussed.
