Abstract

Femtosecond stimulated emission pumping experiments from bacteriorhodopsins fluorescent state show for the first time that it is a photocycle intermediate, with a constant nonisomerized structure throughout its 0.5 psec lifetime. Implications concerning internal conversion dynamics are discussed.
