Abstract

Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy in the visible and near-infrared regions has been applied to studying ultrafast dynamics in π-conjugated polymers, such as derivatives of both polydiacetylenes and polyphenylacetylenes, J-aggregates composed of cyanine dyes, and rare metal-halogen mixed-valence complexes. Time-resolved Raman gain spectroscopy was also utilized. The results were explained in terms of self-trapped excitons, solitons, and polarons depending on several physical parameters such as excitonphonon coupling strength.
