Popis: We investigate the transient absorption kinetics due to excitons associated with the first and higher transition states in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes at high excitation densities by means of femtosecond pump–probe spectroscopy. The time evolutions of absorption changes associated with the first, second, and third excitonic transition bands exhibit similar decay behavior; the decay is much longer than the exciton population decay observed by time-resolved luminescence measurements. From spectral shape analysis of the transient absorption spectra, it is found that the absorption change in the short time regime (
