Graphene based materials show remarkable chemical, electrical and optical properties. Recently, it has been shown that one can grow atomically precise one-dimensional graphene nanoribbons. Here, we investigate armchair graphene nanoribbons of N=7 carbon atoms width transferred onto the insulating substrate, using steady state and time-resolved spontaneous Raman spectroscopy. The Raman signal shows a resonance near 2.2 eV, consistent with the energy level structure. The time-dependent Raman data is interpreted in terms of exciton recombination dynamics, indicating that exciton recombination occurs mainly through exciton-exciton annihilation which is limited by one-dimensional diffusion.
