Abstract

The signal of the ultrafast optical Kerr effect (OKE) in liquids, including toluene C7H8, nitrobenzene C6H5NO2, and acetonitrile C2H3N is analyzed. It is shown that considering the correlation between the orientational and librational responses allows us to determine the rise time of the orientational response associated with the inertial nature of molecular rotations over a time interval of 300–500 fs after the impact of a laser pulse, and to increase the accuracy of determining the form of the Raman spectral density function.
