Nonlinear-infrared responses of the N-H mode of pyrrole in carbon tetrachloride by heterodyned and stimulated echoes
Three pulse infrared nonlinear studies with 100 fs pulses at 3 mum of the N-H mode of pyrrole in carbon tetrachloride were carried out in various experimental configurations including integrated transient gratings, polarized pump-probe, heterodyned three pulse echoes, and time integrated three pulse echoes. Essential features of the N-H dynamics were obtained from the measured properties that include the population relaxation time (T-1 = 81 +/- 15 ps), the orientational diffusion coefficients (D-perpendicular to = (9.18 +/- 1.09) x 10(10) s(-1), D-parallel to = (3.23 +/- 0.71) x 10(11) s(-1)), and the N-H vibrational frequency correlation function expressed as a sum of three exponentials with correlation times 18 fs, 4.4 ps, and > 10 ps.
