Picosecond photon echo and optical hole burning studies of chromophores in organic glasses

Year: 1987

Type: article

Abstract: The range of relaxation rates present in amorphous systems is shown to affect the results of optical dephasing measurements. The interpretation of these experiments in terms of four-time correlation functions is introduced. Photon echo and hole burning results are shown for resorufin in three glass hosts: ethanol, d-ethanol, and glycerol. The hole burning data are shown to be affected by slow relaxation processes whereas the echo results are not. The implications of a slowest relaxation rate in amorphous systems are also considered.
