New insights into the femtosecond to microsecond photoinduced dynamics of Pyrene and Indole

The thesis reviews the literature about the photophysics of the organic molecules Pyrene and Indole, and employs a state-of-the-art setup for the measurement of the transient absorption signal, thus investigating the ultrafast dynamics of these molecules after photoexcitation, with a resolution down to 50 fs, in order to gain information about the de-excitation process
