		These time-resolved laser spectroscopies in the Atkinson laboratory are designed to measure absorption and fluorescence, vibrational resonance Raman scattering, and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) from femto/picosecond intermediates in biophysical reactions.
		The last two of these spectroscopies are especially interesting since they provide information on the picosecond changes in molecular shape and structure (i.e., conformation and configuration) which control the molecular mechanisms occurring in the femto/picosecond time scale regime and that eventually determine chemical and biochemical functionality.
		Emphasis is placed on the simultaneous measurement of the structural dynamics with a well-defined spatial region of a biochemically functional system using the structural differences in specific molecules to provide a wrapping.
