Figure 11 Deformation of a spectral hole in an external field. The external field Egt (about 12 kV cm"h is parallel to the laser field. The sample is protoporphyrin IX-substituted myoglobin in a glycerol/water glass. The double peak structure Is indicative of a chromophore with a well-defined dipole moment.

Figure 7.3 Fluctuating molecular MTP moments for CO (a) dipole, (b) quadrupole, (c] octupole, (d] hexadecapole. The symbols represent different MTP models, while the solid line depicts ab initio—CCSD(T)—values. See Ref [40] for more details. Reprinted from Biophys. ]., 94, N. Plattner and M.
