Abstract

The photophysiscs and photochemistry fololwing the photoexcitation of retinal isomers in hydrocarbon solutions have been studied by nanosecond time-resolved spontaneous Raman, nanosecond time-resolved infrared absorption, picosecond time-frequency two-dimensional CARS, picosecond time-resolved fluorescence, and femtosecond visible absorption spectroscopies. The mechanism of the cis-trans photoisomerization of retinal is discussed on the basis of the accumulated time-resolved spectroscopic data.
