Energy and Light

A firecracker is a mixture of solids that possess chemical potential energy. When a firecracker explodes, the solids react to form gases that fly outward and so possess a great deal of kinetic energy. Light and heat (both of which are forms of energy) are also formed.

A theme which will run tluough this section is the complementarity of light and the molecule with which it interacts. The simplest example is energy when a photon of energy E = tia is absorbed by a molecule it disappears, transferring the identical quantity of energy E = 1j(odj.- cdj) to the molecule. But this is only one of... 

If the experunental technique has sufficient resolution, and if the molecule is fairly light, the vibronic bands discussed above will be found to have a fine structure due to transitions among rotational levels in the two states. Even when the individual rotational lines caimot be resolved, the overall shape of the vibronic band will be related to the rotational structure and its analysis may help in identifying the vibronic symmetry. The analysis of the band appearance depends on calculation of the rotational energy levels and on the selection rules and relative intensity of different rotational transitions. These both come from the fonn of the rotational wavefunctions and are treated by angnlar momentum theory. It is not possible to do more than mention a simple example here. 

An interferometric method was first used by Porter and Topp [1, 92] to perfonn a time-resolved absorption experiment with a -switched ruby laser in the 1960s. The nonlinear crystal in the autocorrelation apparatus shown in figure B2.T2 is replaced by an absorbing sample, and then tlie transmission of the variably delayed pulse of light is measured as a fiinction of the delay This approach is known today as a pump-probe experiment the first pulse to arrive at the sample transfers (pumps) molecules to an excited energy level and the delayed pulse probes the population (and, possibly, the coherence) so prepared as a fiinction of time.

Full lines (right) represent the coupling path between the energy levels and broken arrows the photon energies with angular frequency to (Aco is the frequency width of the excitation light in the case of incoherent excitation), see also [111].

S-S annihilation phenomena can be considered as a powerful tool for investigating tire exciton dynamics in molecular complexes [26]. However, in systems where tliat is not tire objective it can be a complication one would prefer to avoid. To tliis end, a measure of suitably conservative excitation conditions is to have tire parameter a< )T < 0.01. Here x is tire effective rate of intrinsic energy dissipation in tire ensemble if tire excitation is by CW light, and T = IS tire...
