Dark excited states of carotenoid in light harvesting complex probing with femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy

Vibrational dynamics of dark excited states in carotenoids have been investigated using tunable Raman pump pulses. The S1 state has same vibrational dynamics in light-harvesting complex (LH1) and solution. The S* state in LH1 has similar vibrational modes with the triplet state of carotenoid. Howeve...
