Abstract

We report single-shot transient absorption (SSTA) measurements of an organic film of 3,3’-Diethyloxatricarbocyanine iodide (DOTCI). In SSTA, the pump-probe time delay is spatially encoded by using a tilted pump pulse. Translation of the sample during SSTA measurements averages over any spatial heterogeneity in the film. We demonstrate that exciton dynamics measured with the single-shot technique agrees with traditional transient absorption measurements of the same film. A signal-to-noise ratio of ∼40 is achieved in 10 s. The ability to measure exciton dynamics in organic films will enable future SSTA measurements of exciton dynamics during the molecular aggregation events that result in film formation.
