Abstract

An experimental setup for studying transient absorption spectra of organic dyes, which are excited with a high-power laser pulse, by the pump-probe method is described. Fluorescence of a mixture of organic-dye solutions is used as the source of probing radiation. The setup ensures recording of transient absorption in the spectral range 340–900 nm with a time resolution of up to 10 ns. The capabilities of the setup are demonstrated by an example of studying the singlet-singlet and triplet-triplet absorptions of organic dyes.
