Room 56

We are building a new photoinduced absorption spectrometer with ultrafast time resolution of 30 fsec. The probe source is a computer controlled OPA which should allow us to make a fully automated wavelength scanning spectromter covering the spectral range 350 nm to 2500 nm. This system will be used to follow electron and excitation energy transfer in guest host systems and CT state molecules. It will also allow us to follow molecular relaxation after excitation.
