Femtosecond time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) has been observed for all-trans beta-carotene in various solvents. A regular oscillating pattern (11 THz) owing to the beat among the two strong Raman transitions (almost-equal-to 1520 and almost-equal-to 1150 cm-1) is observed when the frequency difference between the pump and Stokes radiation is set in-between the two strong Raman bands. The vibrational relaxation rate has been measured for the "in-phase" C = C stretching band. The relaxation rate is found to be T2 almost-equal-to 0.6 ps and independent of solvent. This rate is due to intramolecular vibrational relaxation.
