Abstract
Ultrafast optical spectroscopy methods, such as transient absorption spectroscopy and 2D spectroscopy, are typically restricted to optically thick samples, such as solids and liquid solutions. We have developed a technique, Cavity-Enhanced Ultrafast Spectroscopy, to study dynamics in a molecular beam with femtosecond temporal resolution. By coupling frequency combs into optical cavities, we previously demonstrated ultrafast transient absorption measurements with a detection limit of ∆OD = 2 × 10−10(10−9/ √ Hz). a In this talk, I will present a widely tunable version of this spectrometer operating at probe wavelengths between 450 and 700 nm (8000 cm−1 ) using only one set of dispersion managed cavity mirrors. The tunable probe comb is generated using an intracavity doubled optical parametric oscillator. I will discuss the technical details of this spectrometer and its application to the dynamics of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in jet-cooled molecules and clusters.
