The homogeneous line widths of v = 1 and v = 2 vibronic bands are estimated from the deconvolution of the observed spectrum. The absorption maximum is found to shift by 100?200 cm-1 by using the two excitation wavelengths; resulting from partial site selection due to the contribution of inhomogeneous broadening. The hole width produced by excitation near the zero-phonon band is found to be ?1250 cm-1, which corresponds to a homogeneous width of ?600 cm-1, and the low limit of dephasing time can be estimated as 20 fs. This width is found to be independent of the vibronic band observed.Using the hole-burning technique, resolved vibrational structure was observed in the retinal absorption spectrum of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film at 10 K with 556 and 632 nm irradiation.
