We numerically investigate the conical emission (CE) from ultrashort laser filaments, both considering and disregarding the higher-order Kerr effect (HOKE). While the consideration of HOKE has almost no influence on the predicted CE from collimated beams, differences arise for tightly focused beams. This difference is attributed to the different relative contributions of the nonlinear focus and of the modulational instability over the whole filament length.

Mechanism of the Non-Kasha Fluorescence in Pyrene.

The high-energy shoulder in the gas-phase fluorescence emission spectrum of pyrene is a well-known example of non-Kasha emission. We comparatively assess two approaches, vibronic perturbation theory and nonadiabatic dynamics, in their ability to predict and explain the gas-phase fluorescence spectrum of pyrene. While both methods qualitatively capture the non-Kasha emission, they differ in their computational requirements, accuracy, and physical interpretation.

In this study, the radiative and nonradiative decay pathways from the first singlet excited states (denoted as S) of three bithiophene-fused isoquinolines were investigated by using the mixed-reference spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory approach. These isoquinolines, which are prepared via [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions between three types of bithiophene-linked diynes and nitriles, exhibit different fluorescence quantum yields in response to the positions of their sulfur atoms. The decay processes, including the fluorescence emission and internal conversion, were considered.

Particularly, modulation with a 4-hole mask forms an inverted pattern of conical emission (CE) with its predominance in the Stokes wing of the pulse spectrum. We explain this phenomenon as a joint effect of self-phase modulation and temporal pulse splitting of interfering beamlets formed by the modulating mask.

Large Stokes shift red fluorescent proteins (LSS-RFPs) are of growing interest for multicolor bioimaging applications. However, their photochemical mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we employed the QM(XDW-CASPT2//CASSCF)/MM method to investigate the excited-state proton transfer and photoisomerization processes of the LSS-RFP mKeima starting from its cis neutral isomer.

Organic molecules with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property have been attracting much attention from the viewpoint of application to solid state emissive materials. For the AIE mechanism, quantum mechanical studies proposed the restriction of the intramolecular motion (RIM) model with the contribution of the conical intersection (CI) and deduced the importance of the restricted access to a conical intersection (RACI) in the potential energy surface (PES). Although these theoretical studies have contributed to the elucidation of AIE phenomena, direct detection of the reaction dynamics is indispensable to clarify the actual PES and the deactivation mechanism.
