Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, OX1 3QZ Oxford, U.K. ABSTRACT: We present an experimental setup for recording vibrational coherences and thereby Raman spectra of molecules in their ground and excited electronic states over the 50−3000 cm−1 spectral range using broadband impulsive vibrational spectroscopy. Our approach relies on the combination of a
