Exciton diffusion in organic materials provides the operational basis for functioning of such devices as organic solar cells and light-emitting diodes. Here we track the exciton diffusion process in organic semiconductors in real time with a novel technique based on femtosecond photoinduced absorption spectroscopy. Using vacuum-deposited C-70 layers as a model system, we demonstrate an extremely high diffusion coefficient of D approximate to 3.5 x 10(-3) cm(2)/s that originates from a surprisingly low energetic disorder o
