“…Some of these techniques include time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy 1 , transient absorption spectroscopy, 2 fluorescence up-conversion, 3 pump degenerate four-wave mixing, 4 and third harmonic generation. 5 For many molecular systems, the 3 rd -order optical susceptibility 𝜒 (3) is the lowest order nonlinear optical response 6 and many techniques have been developed that use 𝜒 (3) as a sensitive probe of electronic structure and excited state dynamics. [7][8][9][10] With additional parameters such as independent frequencies of two or more probe pulses, multiple time delays, and phase-matching conditions, nonlinear spectroscopy can be highly differential and exquisitely sensitive to dynamics such as electron-hole coherence, or populations of specific electronic states.…”
