Probing the real time dynamics of a reacting molecule remains one of the central challenges in chemistry. Here we show how the time-dependent wave function of an excited-state reacting molecule can be completely reconstructed from resonant coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy. The method assumes knowledge of the ground potential but not of any excited potential. The excited-state potential can in turn be constructed from the wave function. The formulation is general for polyatomics and applies to bound as well as dissociative excited potentials. We demonstrate the method on the Li-2 molecule.
