Photon Echo Optical Dephasing Solvent-Solute Interaction Beta-Carotene Non-Markovian Phonon Density of States

项目摘要

The optical dephasing of dye molecules in solution has been extensively investigated by various experimental methods and it is shown that the dephasing occurs on the time scale of femtoseconds with a non-Markovian nature. Since photon echo spectroscopy is a powerful tool for investigating solvation dynamics, several groups report echo responses measured at room temperature utilizing femtoseconds laser pulses. However reports on the temperature dependence of solvation dynamics are quite limited. The investigation of temperature dependence is important because it gives detailed information about the solvation dynamics.In this research, the solvation dynamics of beta-carotene molecules in ethanol has been investigated by incoherent photon echo spectroscopy at various temperatures from 300 K to 50 K.Experimental results are analyzed based on a dynamical model for a dephasing in femtoseconds and a stochastic model for a slow energy fluctuation. Using parameter values for the dynamical model determined from fluorescence spectra, we obtain amplitude and correlation time of the slow energy fluctuation in picoseconds time scale in solid phase of ethanol. It is shown that the fast response of echo signals in femtoseconds time scale essentially comes from the relatively strong electron-phonon coupling in this system and that the slow energy fluctuation decreases the rephasing process resulting in much faster response. The incoherent photon echo probes the slow energy fluctuation in picosecond order, Which is longer than the delay time between two excitation pulses.

溶液中染料分子的光学移相已经通过各种实验方法进行了广泛研究，结果表明移相发生在飞秒的时间尺度上，具有非马尔可夫性质。由于光子回波光谱是研究溶剂化动力学的强大工具，一些研究小组报告了利用飞秒激光脉冲在室温下测量的回波响应。然而，关于溶剂化动力学温度依赖性的报道非常有限。温度依赖性的研究很重要，因为它提供了有关溶剂化动力学的详细信息。在本研究中，通过非相干光子回波光谱法研究了 300 K 至 50 K 不同温度下 β-胡萝卜素分子在乙醇中的溶剂化动力学。基于飞秒失相的动态模型和缓慢能量波动的随机模型对结果进行分析。使用从荧光光谱确定的动力学模型的参数值，我们获得了乙醇固相中皮秒时间尺度的缓慢能量波动的幅度和相关时间。结果表明，飞秒时间尺度内回波信号的快速响应本质上来自于该系统中相对较强的电子声子耦合，并且缓慢的能量波动减少了重定相过程，从而导致更快的响应。非相干光子回波探测皮秒量级的缓慢能量波动，该波动比两个激发脉冲之间的延迟时间长。
