摘要
We discuss the influence of spectral filtering by samples in femtosecond transient absorption measurements. Commercial instruments for transient absorption spectroscopy (TA) have become increasingly available to scientists in recent years and TA is becoming an established technique to measure the dynamics of photoexcited systems. We show that absorption of the excitation pulse by the sample can severely alter the spectrum and consequently the temporal pulse shape. This "spectral self-filtering" effect can lead to systematic errors and misinterpretation of data, most notably in concentration dependent measurements. The combination of narrow absorption peaks in the sample with ultrafast broadband excitation pulses is especially prone to this effect. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
