8 - Pump-probe spectroscopy (part 1)

Pump-probe experiment as a differential absorption spectroscopy in phenomenological formulation. Discussion of Liouville pathways involved in the pump-probe non-linear response. Expression of Liouville pathway contributions in terms of absorption line shape. Formulation of the response using evolution superoperator elements for the excited state evolution. Two-level system with excited state decay. Derivation of the evolution superoperator for the excited state decay.
