The technology of picosecond lasers has been developed for a sufficiently long time that one needs not expound upon the history nor describe the numerous variations possible; we shall describe only the experimental system we used to measure the picosecond kinetics of bacteriochlorophyll Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides R-26.
