VisionThe light reaches the retina through eyes and is changed into signal in retina.Signals are sent to our brains.

Retinal
Scheme 2. Structure of Rhodopsin
Opsin is a protein of 7 spiral structures.
A chromophore inside Opsin is Retinal.
11-Cis Retinal changes into all-trans-retinal by light irradiation.
Signal is sent to the optic nerve.

Past research of retinal

Transient absorption measurement and time-resolved fluorescence detection of 11-cis Retinal ~ 200 fs lifetime of the excited state reported.
Fluorescence lifetime Transient absorption spectroscopy
retinal 200 300 fs~ 200 fs

Motivation
But fluorescence and electronic absorption spectra do not provide direct information of the molecular structure.
A new time-resolved Raman spectroscopy method is necessary in order to elucidate the dynamics of this isomerization reaction and factors regulating this rapid structural change.

The dispersive HOOP features evolve on the same time scale as the finger-print bands into the expected three positive features of the Bathorhodopsin spectrum.
These data show that there is considerable reactive evolution on the ground-state surface from 200 fs to 1 ps.

Fig. 7 Retinal chromophore structures for reactant
rhodopsin and for photorhodopsin and
bathorhodopsin that reproduce the observed
hydrogen wagging frequencies.
Structures of Retinal, Photorhodopsin and Bathorhodopsin
The Bathorhodopsin structure is twisted by –144° about the C11=C12 and by 31°about the C12–C13 bond.
The Photorhodopsin structure is more highly distorted, in particular about the C9=C
10 (45°), C10–C11 (25°), and C11=C12 (–110°) bonds.
With these larger twists, the overall shape of retinal is much more like that of 11-cis Rhodopsin than all-trans Bathorhodopsin,

Theoretical and experimental hydrogen wagging frequencies
Fig. 8 Theoretical and experimental hydrogen wagging frequencies for the Photo and Bathorhodopsin structures
Caluculated frequency for Photorhodopsin structure show good agreement with experimental data for the C10-H,C11-H modes.
Vibrational calculations for the Bathorhodopsin structure yielded features in excellent agreement with experimental data, except for an underestimated C11–H wagging frequency.

The isomerization coordinate for the primary event in vision
Fig. 9 Multidimensional representation of the isomerization coordinate for the primary event in vision
Excited-state of 11-cis Retinal carry the system toward a conical intersection in ~ 50 fs.
From 200 fs to 1 ps , Photorhdopsin changes into Bathorhodopsin on the ground-state surface.
19
Summary
・ Excited-state decay (200 fs) through a conical intersection is mediated largely by fast HOOP motion.
・ By 1 ps, vibrational cooling has narrowed, thereby completing the transformation to Bathorhodopsin.

Amplitude of coherent vibration induced by Raman and probe pulse
Heterodyne detection yields a gain feature on top of the probe envelope in the energy domain shifted in energy relative to the Raman pulse according to the frequency of the vibration.
