Sub-5 fs time-resolved absorption spectra were recorded for carotenoids with 11, 12, and 13 double bonds. Singular-value decomposition followed by global fitting of the spectral data identified the stepwise internal conversion processes of 1B(u)(+) -> 3A(g)(-) -> 1B(u)(-) -> 2A(g)(-), and determined the difference-spectral patterns and the lifetimes of these singlet-excited states were determined. The rate in each step of internal conversion was found to follow the energy-gap law among the set of carotenoids. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
