Abstract
Picosecond pulses have been used extensively in determining the optical (mostly the visible) spectra of picosecond transients. These spectra, unfortunately, did not prove useful in most cases in imparting structural information about these picosecond transients. They gave the rise and, if not too long, the decay times of these transients. These results form the fact that most of the systems studied with the available lasers are too large with broad absorption spectra. Most small molecules with well resolved spectra absorb in the deep UV for which continuous monitoring picosecond lasers are not yet conveniently available.
