Abstract
A normal molecular vibration is strongly excited by a picosecond light pulse. The rise and decay of the excess population of the first excited vibrational state (electronic ground state) is observed with a delayed probe pulse. These measurements give, for the first time, values of the lifetimes of molecular vibrations in liquids.
