Abstract

Ultrafast temperature jump experiments (ΔT = 140°C, dT/dt = 1012 deg/s) are performed on polymers doped with small concentrations of dyes which function as point sources of phonons (molecular heaters) and thermometers. Internal conversion, multiphonon up-pumping and vibrational cooling of dyes in the polymer, occurring on the 0.1 to 100 ps time scale, are investigated.
