The anisotropy functions of the dye molecules were obtained from the fluorescence depletion spectra, as the polarization of probe pulse is parallel and perpendicular respectively. The results show that the transition dipole moment of the pump and the probe of LD700 and OX750 are parallel. The time constants of the orientation relaxation of these dye molecules in DMSO are 1.8 and 1.9 ps for LD700 and OX750, respectively.展开更多

The electric field alone was strong enough to create corona discharge(CD). Fluorescence spectra from neutral and ionic air molecules were measured and compared with pure high-voltage CD and pure laser filamentation(FIL). Among them, high electric field assisted laser FIL produced nitrogen fluorescence more efficiently than either pure CD or pure FIL processes. The nonlinear enhancement of fluorescence from the interaction of the laser filament and corona discharging electric field resulted in a more efficient ionization along the laser filament zone, which was confirmed by the spectroscopic measurement of both ionization-induced fluorescence and plasma-scattered 800 nm laser pulses. This is believed to be the key precursor process for filament-guided discharge.展开更多

The re-sults show that the factors mentioned above may be respon-sible for a different 搒hort-time behavior?of the bleaching signal on the ground state and nonlinear viscosity depend-ence of the excited-state lifetime in isopropanol and glycol. These phenomena are distinguished from the situation re-ported in the long-chained monohydroxyl alcohol solvents. However, the dye molecule still exhibits the analyzing- wavelength dependence of the observed fluorescence lifetime, that is, the fluorescence lifetime increases with the increasing of analyzing-wavelength. The conclusions are in agreement with those drawn from femtosecond upconversion fluores-cence experiments and further exemplify the barrierless isomerization model in the excited state.展开更多
