Abstract

We report transient absorption measurements using the pump and probe technique on poly(2,5 dimethoxy-p-phenylene vinylene), DMPPV, and poly(p-phenylene vinylene), PPV. We observe a transient absorption in both materials, although a transient bleaching would be expected, and we discuss possible explanations for this behaviour.
