Abstract :
Exploitation of the high peak power and sharp pulse-shape of mode locked lasers for purposes of extremely short radiative lifetime measurements is investigated. Utilization of a laser as the excitation source is particularly applicable to studies, of samples possessing broad band absorption, i.e., semiconductors, photosynthetic materials, dyes, etc.
