Abstract

We are presenting a new method to trigger molecular configurational chain reaction employing coplanar wave guides. This technique permits large field gradients at an individual molecule, direct electron transfer, and short excitation length down to the ps and sub-ps time scale. We present first results with excitation pulses of 1 ns-100 ps and compare these with simulations. Additionally we present simulations which show the feasibility of this technique up to the 1 ps level.
