Popis: The excited state dynamics of trimeric phycoerythrocyanin has been studied by two-color femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy with a time-resolution better than 200 fs. Upon selective excitation of the short-wavelength phycobiliviolin chromophore at 575 nm absorption bleachings are observed. An isotropic ultrafast decay of the initial bleaching of 585±40 fs has been resolved at short detection wavelength (578 nm). Upon stepwise increase of the detection wavelength up to 617 nm, the bleaching showed a delayed rise above 593 nm with τ rise =380-580 fs
