Optical dephasing of chromophores in an organic glass: picosecond photon echo and hole burning experiments

Year: 1986

Type: article

Abstract: The homogeneous optical dephasing time T2 for the organic glass system resorufin in ethanol is measured by picosecond two-pulse photon echoes from 1.5 to 11.4 K. A non-power law temperature dependence of T2 is measured. Non-photochemical hole burning (NPHB) linewidths are four times broader than the homogeneous linewidth, demonstrating that additional factors contribute to NPHB.
