>>11917866Yes, there are many photosynthetic pigments other than Chlorophyll - off of the top of my head there is Carotene, an orange pigment that gives Carrots and Pumpkins their orange coloration.
Many plants have several photosynthetic pigments rather than a single one. This is because pigments reflect certain wavelengths of light - Chlorophyll reflects wavelengths that appear Green, and as a result, the green light it reflects hits our eyes and makes plants with that pigment appear Green. If a plant has several pigments, it can absorb more wavelengths of light more efficiently, since light that would have been reflected is absorbed by the other pigments.
To answer your second question, I can not think of any plant that uses more extreme forms of light such as Ultraviolet or Infrared - the latter because it does not have much energy to use at all, and the former because it has enough energy to harm the plant, just like UV light can harm your skin. Gamma rays and Radio waves are more extreme variations of UV and IR light respectively, and as a result, I doubt any plant would use them for the same reasons.
Chlorophyll is some of the most common photosynthetic pigments because it is the most efficient, and there is no need to develop methods to absorb more exotic wavelengths.
