[en] The Fourier transform of an electronic spectrum gives a direct dynamic information on the nuclear motion of a wavepacket on the potential energy surface of the final state reached in the electronic transition, at least during the first few molecular vibrations. The method is valid for both adiabatic and non-adiabatic situations. It has proved its usefulness in the study of molecular processes such as Duchinsky effect, fast predissociations and internal conversions.
