Abstract
We report the use of spectrally resolved femtosecond two-color three-pulse photon echoes as a potentially powerful multidimensional technique for studying vibrational and electronic dynamics in complex molecules. The wavelengths of the pump and probe laser pulses are found to have a dramatic effect on the spectrum of the photon echo signal and can be chosen to select different sets of energy levels in the vibrational manifold, allowing a study of the dynamics and vibrational splitting in either the ground or the excited state. The technique is applied to studies of the dynamics of vibrational electronic states in the dye molecule Rhodamine 101 in methanol.
