By femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy various ultrafast nonlinear optical processes were studied for many conjugated polymers, polydiacetylene (PDAs) such as poly[4,6-decadiyne-1,10-diol - bis([(n-butoxycarbonyl)methyl] urethane)](PDA-3BCMU)(blue-phase), poly[5,7-dodecadiyne-1,12-diol bis([(n-butoxycarbonyl)methyl]urethane)] (PDA-4BCMU) (red- and blue-phases), poly[1,4-bis([2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl]phenyl)-1,3-butadiyne] ( PDA-DFMP)(blue-phase), and polythiophenes (PTs) such as poly(3-methylthiophene (P3MT) and poly(3-dodecylthiophene)(P3DT), and polythienylenevinylene)(PTV). Picosecond luminescence spectroscopy was also studied for PDA-4BCMU in red phase.Geometrical relaxation of free1Bu excitons photogenerated by 100-fs pump pulses to the quasithermal self-trapped (ST) excitons takes place with time constants of 100-150 fs in PDAs and 70-100 fs in PTs. The lifetimes of the ST excitons at 10 K (290 K) were 2.0±0.1 ps (1.5±0.1 ps) in PDA-3BCMU, 3.0±0.3 ps (2.1±0.2 ps) in PDA-4BCMU, and 800±100 fs (800±100 fs) in P3MT. The decay kinetics of the ST exciton were explained by potential crossing and tunneling between two potential curves of the ST exciton and the ground state. The extremely weak temperature dependence indicates that the activation process over the potential barrier between the ST exciton and the ground state is not dominant in the radiationless relaxation of the ST exciton. The relaxation dynamics of fluorescence from the PDA-4BCMU film cannot be represented by a single exponential decay; however, it can be described in terms of a random walk in the fractal dimension. By applying the fractal dimension model, the spectral dimension was determined to be between 0.50 and 0.85. The spectral change due to several nonlinear optical processes, i.e. hole burning, Raman gain, and dynamic Stark effect, were also observed in femtosecond resolved spectra. The third-order susceptibility was determined for these nonlinear processes, such as absorption saturation at the exciton transition, Raman gain, and resonant Kerr effect from the observed spectral change. The third-order susceptibility corresponding to absorption saturation (hole burning) in blue-phase PDA-3BCMU cast film and in P3MT was obtained as Im[χ(3)1111(-ω;ω,-ω,ω)] = - 2.6×10-9esu and -3.5×10-10esu, respectively, for ħχ = 1.97 eV. The third-order susceptibility corresponding to the Raman gain in PDA-3BCMU and in P3MT was determined to be Im[χ(3)(-ω2;ω2,-ω1,ω1)] = -5.8×10-10esu and -1.5×10-10esu, respectively, for ħω1=1.97 eV and ħω2=1.79 eV. From the resonant Kerr experiment in the P3MT film, |Δχ(3)| = |Δχ(3)1111(-ω2;ω2,-ω1,ω1)-Δ(3)1122(-ω2;ω2,-ω1, ω)|= 3.9×10-11esu was determined for ħω1= 1.97 eV and ħω2=1.88 eV.
