Abstract
Picosecond optical pump-probe spectroscopy was used to measure electronic energy relaxation in aggregates of pseudoisocyanine on 40-Angstrom-diameter colloidal silica particles. The adsorption of pseudoisocyanine on colloidal silica was accompanied by the appearance of a sharp band at 569 nm, called the J-band, in the absorption spectrum. The J-band arises from an optical transition to a single-exciton state of aggregates absorbed on colloids. Nonexponential signals obtained from transient optical bleaching of the J-band are discussed in terms of a polariton model.
