The environment is important for the exact course of a chemical reaction. As an example of the strong influence of the environment on the reaction, this work studies the isomerization reaction of the chromophore retinal in the binding pocket of the protein ...
Spatial representativeness is an important quality criterion in trace gas monitoring, especially if measurements are intended for regulatory and model validation purposes. Open-path absorption spectroscopy techniques meet the representativeness requirement ...
Infrared spectroscopy using semiconductor lasers is a promising technique for trace gas detection. It allows a continuous and real time monitoring of several species, with a high sensitivity and a good selectivity. Among all the possible methods two are pa ...
Using a model structure consisting of a network of corner sharing tetrahedra, we calculate the infrared spectrum of amorphous SiO2 within a first-principles approach and find good agreement with experiment both for the positions and the intensities of the ...
The dynamics of the ferric CN complexes of the heme proteins Myoglobin and Hb I from the clam Lucina pectinata upon Soret band excitation is monitored using IR and broad band visible pump-probe spectroscopy. The transient response in the UV-vis spectral re ...
We apply gas-phase double resonance spectroscopic techniques to two helical peptides, Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-Lys-H+ and Ac-Phe- (Ala)10-Lys-H+, using electrospray ionization combined with photofragmentation in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. Despite the large size of the ...
We present a MEMS infrared spectrometer for selective and quantitative chemical gas analysis. infrared absorption spectroscopy can distinguish gases easily and also detect nonreactive molecules like CO2, in contrast to e.g. metal oxide gas sensors The foll ...
This thesis reports on results of three different experiments of photo-induced structural dynamics in the condensed phase, investigated by time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy with femtosecond time-resolution. In the first part, we address the ultrafast d ...
An atomic infrared (IR) streak camera is demonstrated that operates in the mid- and far-infrared (lambda = 5-85 um), web beyond the long wavelength cutoff of conventional streak cameras. The temporal and spectral characteristics of the streak camera are de ...

Infrared predissociation spectroscopy of nitric acid subsequent to vibrational overtone excitation reveals vibrational state mixing of the highly excited levels and probes the character of the coupled dark states. A visible dye laser excites the 4
