Spectrally-tunable femtosecond single-molecule pump-probe spectroscopy

Single-molecule spectroscopy has been extensively used to investigate heterogeneity in static and dynamic behaviors on millisecond and second timescales. More recently, single-molecule pump-probe spectroscopy emerged as a method to access heterogeneity on the femtosecond and picosecond timescales. Here, we develop a single-molecule pump-probe apparatus that is easily tunable across the visible region and demonstrate its utility on the...
