The vibrational relaxation process in the ground electronic state (S0) of canthaxanthin after internal conversion from the lowest excited electronic state (S1) to the S0 state is studied by picosecond time-resolved anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy. The pump-induced intensities of two strong anti-Stokes Raman bands reach their maxima at delay time ∼12 ps from the pump pulse, and decay with a time constant of 15−20 ps. The peak position of the transient “in-phase” CC stretching anti-Stokes Raman band shows a small shift to a lower frequency from that observed in the stationary (cw) spectrum. In order to determine the energy levels on which the observed vibrationally excited molecules are populated, the probe-wavelength dependence of the pump-induced anti-Stokes Raman intensities are analyzed. Most of the vibrationally excited transients giving rise to the transient 1520 cm-1 band at delay time 12 ps are on the first excited vibrational level of the CC stretching mode in the S0 state. This result suggests that...
