| Research Abstract |
A novel integrated methodology has been developed to simultaneously investigate the dynamics of the electronic and vibronic states experimentally and theoretically. Here assiduous attention has been paid on carotenoids and bacteriochlorophylls, which are the most abundant pigments bound in photosynthetic purple bacteria. The essential electronic states to understand the early events of photosynthesis in these bacteria have been clarified. The artificial generation and control of the coherent vibronic oscillations have been attained.
