(Population/Waiting Time): Tells you about how the system relaxes or moves energy (the "kinetics"). (Detection Time): When the signal actually radiates. Summary for the Practitioner
If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the world of ultrafast science, you’ve likely encountered the "Big Red Book." Shaul Mukamel’s Principles of Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy is the definitive bible of the field. It is also, for many, notoriously difficult to read. (Population/Waiting Time): Tells you about how the system
The central premise of Mukamel’s approach is that spectroscopy isn't just "shining light on things." It is a . you see where it went.
tracks both the populations (the "where" the electrons are) and the coherences (the "math" of how they are vibrating in sync). You hit it once, you see where it went. (Population/Waiting Time): Tells you about how the system
