Abstract

We describe the facilities for ultraviolet studies in the femtosecond to nanosecond time domain. These facilities consist of: i) a set-up for deep-ultraviolet spectroscopy in the 260–380 nm range in both pump and probe pulses for transient absorption/reflectivity or two-dimensional spectroscopy studies; ii) a set-up for ultrafast fluorescence measurements with detection down to 300 nm. The capabilities of these set-ups are demonstrated by examples on molecular systems, biosystems, nanoparticles and solid materials.
