We investigated carrier formation dynamics in a small-molecular bulk heterojunction solar cell, 2,5-di-(2-ethylhexyl)-3,6-bis-(5″-n-hexy-[2,2′,5′,2″]terthiophen-5-yl)-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrolo-1,4-dione/[6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester, with low bandgap (Egap ≈ 1.5 eV). The photoinduced absorption (PIA) spectra of the blend film were decomposed into three PIAs, i.e., those due to donor exciton (D*), acceptor exciton (A*), and mobile carrier (D+). The analysis revealed carrier conversion from D* with a conversion time of ∼1.3 ps
