9 - Pump-probe spectroscopy (part 2)

Liouville pathways for energy transfer processes. Identification Liouville pathway types for energy transfer pathways. Complete list of Liouville pathways for a relaxing two-level system. Differential absorption (DA) in terms of Liouville pathways. General expression for pump-probe (PP) also known as DA and its dependence on time T. Response of the systems with excited state absorption. Generalization of the theory to a multi-level, multi-band systems. Recipe how to calculate absorption and DA spectra. Introduction to the problem of orientational averaging in an isotropic sample.
