Abstrakt: A description is presented of a laser system that can be used for two concurrent and independent types of picosecond spectroscopic measurements. Two data-collection subsystems, (1) a picosecond pump-probe transient absorption/emission spectrometer and (2) a streak camera system for time-dependent measurements of absorption and emission, have been developed as independent work stations within an integrated system based on a single mode-locked Nd:YAG laser oscillator which concurrently supplies each subsystem with picosecond pulses. The electronic links among the two work stations and the laser are discussed. In addition to applications involving pump-probe absorption and pulsed laser-induced emission measurements, this system can be used for picosecond-pulsed preparation-pump-probe absorption and preparation-pump emission experiments. Examples of data collected with each subsystem are presented to illustrate the complementary nature of the information that can be obtained with this versatile laser system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
