The ground and excited state evolution of fingerprint vibrational modes of all-trans-and 13-cis-retinal are mapped by impulsive vibrational spectroscopy. All-trans-retinal shows slower frequency shift dynamics in the excited state in comparison to 13-cis-retinal.

We report new experimental results on the ultrafast photo-isomerization of ASR - PSBR where, unlike other retinal proteins, point mutations lead to a 2-fold increase of the photo-isomerization speed for the all-trans isomer. Prominent low-frequency vibrational coherences are reported for both the excited and photo-product ground states.

The phenomenon of bioluminescence has fascinated layman and scientist alike for many centuries. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a number of observations were reported on the physiology of bioluminescence in Renilla, the common sea pansy. More recently biochemists have directed their attention to the molecular basis of luminosity in this colonial form. These studies have centered primarily on defining the chemical basis for bioluminescence and its control. It is now established that bioluminescence in Renilla arises due to the luciferase-catalyzed oxidation of luciferin. This results in the creation of a product (oxyluciferin) in an electronic excited state. The transition of oxyluciferin from its excited state to the ground state leads to light emission.

Core edge spectroscopy methods are versatile tools for investigating a wide variety of materials. They can be used to probe the electronic states of materials in bulk solids, on surfaces, or in the gas phase. This family of methods involves promoting an inner shell (core) electron to an excited state and recording either the primary excitation or secondary decay of the excited state. The techniques are complimentary and have different strengths and limitations for studying challenging aspects of materials. The need to identify components in polymers or polymer blends at high spatial resolution has driven development, application, and integration of results from several of these methods.
