Abstract

Femtosecond pump-probe measurements at room temperature reveal coherent nuclear motion and ultrafast depolarization within the dimeric subunit of a bacterial light-harvesting complex, and spectral evolution within the re-assembled aggregate. The results establish a sub-50 fs timescale for dephasing between dimer exciton levels and support a stochastic hopping model for energy transfer within antenna complexes.
