The ultrafast relaxation kinetics of fucoxanthin in polar and non-polar solvents have been studied by femtosecond dispersed one-and two-photon pump-probe spectroscopies. Transient absorption kinetics of the lowest singlet S-1 (2(1)A(g)(-)) state and/or intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state after excitation to the optically allowed S-2 (1(1)B(u)(+)) state depend strongly on solvent polarity. Transient absorption spectra and the kinetics of absorbance changes after direct two-photon excitation to S-1/ICT depend strongly on excitation energy in non-polar solvent. The results suggest that the ICT state is a distinct state from S-1 in polar solvent. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
