Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) describes a family of techniques first discovered and
developed in the 1960s. Whereas the nascent history of the technique is parallel to that of …

Two-dimensional (2D) optical spectroscopy utilizing multiple ultrafast coherent laser pulses
in the infrared or UV-vis frequency range has been used to study protein structure and …

We report femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe reflection experiments in semimetals and
semiconductors that show large-amplitude oscillations with periods characteristic of lattice …

I. Introduction Chemical change is brought about by the motion of electrons and nuclei within
reactingmolecules. The description of this internal motion is the subject of molecular …

We present an overview of experimental work and discuss the theory of femtosecond-pulse
generation of coherent optical phonons. Recent developments and differences between …

Four-wave mixing (FWM) processes, based on third-order nonlinear light–matter
interactions, can combine ultrafast time resolution with energy and wavevector selectivity …

Two-Dimensional Optical Spectroscopy discusses the principles and applications of newly
emerging two-dimensional vibrational and optical spectroscopy techniques. It provides a …

The time-resolved optical Kerr responses of several simple molecular liquids are probed
with 65-fs laser pulses. Four dynamically distinct responses associated with the nonlinear …

We give a full description of a state-of-the-art femtosecond transient spectrometer. The setup
has been put together under full consideration of all technical and conceptual developments …

Theoretical analysis of the time‐resolved impulsive stimulated light scattering (ISS) method
is presented. A general theoretical framework is developed to describe ISS experiments on …
