Abstract

Spectral hole burning is observed for the OH stretching mode of HDO dissolved in D2O at 298 K after intense infrared excitation. Three spectral components are inferred from the transient band shapes and related to an icelike molecular environment and other hydrogen-bonding configurations. A population lifetime of T1=82 ps and an anharmonic frequency shift of 27020 cm-1 are measured.
