A modified model, a set of rate equations based on time-dependent correlation function, is used to study vibrational relaxation dynamics in transient grating spectroscopy. The dephasing, the population dynamics, and the vibrational coherence concerning two vibrational states are observed respectively in organic dye IR780 perchlorate molecules doped polyvinyl alcohol matrix. The result shows that in addition to the information concerning system-environment interaction and vibrational coherence, the vibrational energy transfer can be described by this modified model.
Experiments on fs laser-induced transient grating （LITG） in carbon bisulfide （CS2） are carried out to explore the chirp characteristics of a white-light supercontinuum （SC） generated by a 800-nm, 160-fs laser pulse in a 4-mm thick Al2O3 crystal. Two orders of diffraction signals of SC by fs LITG in CS2 are observed, demonstrating that both the third-order process and the fifth-order process are present simultaneously. The experimental results also imply that the formation of an fs transient refractive-index grating in CS2 is mainly due to the electronic polarization process.
The poly-[2-methoxy,(5-2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylene vinylene](MEH-PPV) film is investigated by means of the Multi-Color Photon Echo(MCPE) technique. Under the three-order nonlinear response theory,the reason for the occurrence of the quantum beats in the time domain and the relations among signal wavevector,pulse sequence and response function are discussed. The analysis of the Raman spectrum of MEH-PPV and the fast Fourier transformation(FFT) results of photon echo(PE) signal dynamics demonstrate the coherent coupling between the C==C bonds and the CC-H bonds and the coherent coupling between the C-C stretching of the phenyl group and the C==C stretching of the vinylene group.
