Abstract

Broad-band transient grating (BB-TG) spectroscopy was proposed to track both coherent population transfer (CPT) and thermal population relaxation processes in a condensed system of solvated molecules in solution (Rhodamine101 in methanol). A broad band around 1500 cm-1 and a relative narrow band near 2900 cm-1 emerge in TG and transient absorption contour plots when pump and probe pulses overlap in the sample. The experimental results matched well with the vibrational modes of Rhodamine101 that were obtained by theoretical calculation. In addition, it was found that the population of CPT particles can be evaluated quantitatively through the intensity of the TG signal.
