7 - Geometry of the three-pulse experiment, spectroscopic lineshapes, heterodyne detection

Geometry of the three pulse experiment and separate detection of rephasing and non-rephasing pathways by spatial and temporal arrangements of pulses. Introduction to the interaction ordering problem with pulses of finite length. Relations of Liouville pathways to absorption lineshapes. Lineshapes as components of Liouville pathways. Heterodyne detection of non-linear response and the problem of phase. Linear absorption as homodyne detection of the first order signal.
