Abstract
Burning of spectral holes within the absorption band of the primary electron donor P in reaction centers of Rhodopseudomonas viridis is studied using selective excitation at 1014 nm and 1.7 K. A narrow (≤ 1.0 cm−1) spectral hole with relatively weak electron‐phonon and vibronic coupling is burned if the intermediary electron acceptor I is pre‐reduced. The hole is broadened up to ∼90–150 cm−1 if I is neutral and the electron‐transfer chain is open. Broadening of the hole is discussed in terms of the fast (∼70–110 fs) electron hopping between P* and P+BL− (BL, bacteriochlorophyll monomer in L protein subunit).Keywords
