Abstract

The monitoring of the excited-state dynamics by time- and frequency-resolved spontaneous emission spectroscopy has been studied in detail for a model exhibiting an excited-state curve crossing. The model represents characteristic aspects of the photoinduced ultrafast dynamics in large molecules in the gas or condensed phases and accounts for strong nonadiabatic and electron-vibrational coupling effects, as well as for vibrational relaxation and optical dephasing. A comprehensive overview of the dependence of spontaneous emission spectra on the characteristics of the excitation and detection processes (such as carrier frequencies, pump/gate pulse durations, as well as optical dephasing) is presented. A systematic comparison of ideal spectra, which provide simultaneously perfect time and frequency resolution and thus contain maximal information on the system dynamics, with actually measurable time- and frequency-gated spectra has been carried out. The calculations of real time- and frequency-gated spectra demonstrate that complementary information on the excited-state dynamics can be extracted when the duration of the gate pulse is varied.
