Abstract

The asymptotic decay time τan of the anisotropic vibrational excitation in liquids has been measured for the first time in time-resolved CARS. The use of different polarization geometries also allows us to determine the orientational relaxation time τR. Experimental data are presented for totally symmetric modes of liquid CS2 and CH3I, where τR describes the "tumbling" motion of the symmetry axis.
