Tomáš Mančal: Non-linear Optical Spectroscopy (videos)

NON-LINEAR OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY (videos)

A complete English language introductory course of theoretical non-linear (optical) spectroscopy held at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University as NOOE119: Non-linear Optical Spectroscopy (NOOE119: Nelineární optická spektroskopie). Non-linear optical spectroscopy is a crucial tool for observation of open quantum systems on the natural time-scales of their dynamics. However, the relation between observed spectroscopic signals and the quantum dynamics is highly non-trivial. This course is designed to shed light on this relation, and help students to find answers related not just to non-linear spectroscopy itself, but also to the general topics of open quantum systems, quantum biology and applied quantum mechanics.

Lecture 11: Construction of spectroscopy with simultaneous time and frequency resolutions

Description

Details of the pump-probe detection scheme and its generalization to two non-colinear pump pulses. The idea of a generalized susceptibility for the probe pulse gets scrutinized and found valid under relatively general conditions. Constructing spectrum from complex lineshapes and the definition of a coherent two-dimensional (2D) spectra, which could provide a simultaneous high resolution in time and frequency. Basic properties of 2D spectrum.
