Abstract: The picosecond molecular dynamics in an artificial bacteriorhodopsin (BR) pigment, BR6.11, are measured by picosecond time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (PTR/CARS) and picosecond transient absorption (PTA). The changes in the vibrational degrees of freedom of the retinal attributable to the six-membered carbon ring are found in the picosecond resonance CARS (PR/CARS) spectrum of ground-state BR6.11.
