Abstract
Determining the key features of high-efficiency photosynthetic energy transfer remains an ongoing task. Recently, there has been evidence for the role of vibronic coherence in linking donor and acceptor states to redistribute oscillator strength for enhanced energy transfer. To gain further insights into the interplay between vibronic wavepackets and energy-transfer dynamics, we systematically compare four structurally related phycobiliproteins from cryptophyte algae by broad-band pump-probe spectroscopy and extend a parametric model based on global analysis to include vibrational wavepacket characterization. The four phycobiliproteins isolated from cryptophyte algae are two "open" structures and two "closed" structures. The closed structures exhibit strong exciton coupling in the central dimer. The dominant energy-transfer pathway occurs on the subpicosecond timescale across the largest energy gap in each of the proteins, from central to peripheral chromophores. All proteins exhibit a strong 1585 cm-1 coherent oscillation whose relative amplitude, a measure of vibronic intensity borrowing from resonance between donor and acceptor states, scales with both energy-transfer rates and damping rates. Central exciton splitting may aid in bringing the vibronically linked donor and acceptor states into better resonance resulting in the observed doubled rate in the closed structures. Several excited-state vibrational wavepackets persist on timescales relevant to energy transfer, highlighting the importance of further investigation of the interplay between electronic coupling and nuclear degrees of freedom in studies on high-efficiency photosynthesis.

Abstract
A learning algorithm was used to manipulate optical pulse shapes and optimize retinal isomerization in bacteriorhodopsin, for excitation levels up to 1.8 x 10(16) photons per square centimeter. Below 1/3 the maximum excitation level, the yield was not sensitive to pulse shape. Above this level the learning algorithm found that a Fourier-transform-limited (TL) pulse maximized the 13-cis population. For this optimal pulse the yield increases linearly with intensity well beyond the saturation of the first excited state. To understand these results we performed systematic searches varying the chirp and energy of the pump pulses while monitoring the isomerization yield. The results are interpreted including the influence of 1-photon and multiphoton transitions. The population dynamics in each intermediate conformation and the final branching ratio between the all-trans and 13-cis isomers are modified by changes in the pulse energy and duration.

Abstract
Femtosecond coherence spectroscopy is applied to a series of ferric heme protein samples. The low-frequency vibrational spectra that are revealed show dominant oscillations near 40 cm(-1). MbCN is taken as a typical example of a histidine-ligated, six-coordinate, ferric heme and a comprehensive spectroscopic analysis is carried out. The results of this analysis reveal a new heme photoproduct species, absorbing near 418 nm, which is consistent with the photolysis of the His(93) axial ligand. The photoproduct undergoes subsequent rebinding/recovery with a time constant of approximately 4 ps. The photoproduct lineshapes are consistent with a photolysis quantum yield of 75-100%, although the observation of a relatively strong six-coordinate heme coherence near 252 cm(-1) (assigned to nu(9) in the MbCN Raman spectrum) suggests that the 75% lower limit is much more likely. The phase and amplitude excitation profiles of the low-frequency mode at 40 cm(-1) suggest that this mode is strongly coupled to the MbCN photoproduct species and it is assigned to the doming mode of the transient penta-coordinated material. The absolute phase of the 40 cm(-1) mode is found to be pi/2 on the red side of 418 nm and it jumps to 3pi/2 as excitation is tuned to the blue side of 418 nm. The absolute phase of the 40 cm(-1) signal is not explained by the standard theory for resonant impulsive stimulated Raman scattering. New mechanisms that give a dominant momentum impulse to the resonant wavepacket, rather than a coordinate displacement, are discussed. The possibilities of heme iron atom recoil after photolysis, as well as ultrafast nonradiative decay, are explored as potential ways to generate the strong momentum impulse needed to understand the phase properties of the 40 cm(-1) mode.

Abstract
The influence of excited-state absorption (ESA) and two-exciton processes on a coherent population transfer with intense ultrashort chirped pulses in molecular systems in solution has been studied. A unified treatment of adiabatic rapid passage (ARP) in such systems has been developed using a three-state electronic system with relaxation treated as a diffusion on electronic potential energy surfaces. We have shown that ESA has a profound effect on coherent population transfer in large molecules that necessitates a more accurate interpretation of experimental data. A simple and physically clear model for ARP in molecules with three electronic states in solution has been developed by extending the Landau-Zener calculations putting in a third level to random crossing of levels. A method for quantum control of two-exciton states in molecular complexes has been proposed.
