title: Subpicosecond transient signal spectroscopy of Prodan in dimethylformamide solution.
abstract: We report a pump-probe experiment revealing the temporal evolution of subpicosecond evolution of Prodan's excited-state absorption in dimethylformamide. Also, we present calculation of the first spectral moment of this spectral band and estimation of different relaxation components on the subpicosecond time scale.
