Abstract

The intramolecular relaxation time of highly excited states of the vibronic manifold of the first excited singlet state of large organic molecules such as Nile Blue, Rhodamine 640, DODC iodide, Cresyl Violet, and Oxazine 725 in solution is shown to be extremely fast, less than 30 fs. We believe that this is a characteristic time of the relaxation due to anharmonic coupling among the many degrees of freedom of the molecule.
