Abstract
It has been noticed, during the course of transient Raman investigations in the past ten years, that the Raman band widths of electronically excited molecules are always much larger than those of the corresponding ground state molecules [1]. The extra broadenings are most likely to be the manifestations of faster vibrational dephasing times and are expected to carry information on a variety of intra- and intermolecular processes characteristic of electronically excited molecules. Here, we focus on the shape of the ethylenic C=C double bond stretch band of trans-stilbene in the lowest excited singlet state (hereafter abbreviated as S1 tSB).
