Undergrad Pump Probe Spectroscopy: Introduction to a Powerful Technique

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Pump probe spectroscopy is a powerful technique used to study ultrafast processes in materials, particularly nanocrystals (NCs). The discussion highlights the importance of resources such as the article from the Journal of the Optical Society of America and the book "Laser Spectroscopy Volume 2" by Demtroeder, which covers various time-resolved laser techniques. Transient-absorption spectroscopy is identified as the most commonly used pump probe method for investigating NCs. Participants in the discussion seek verification and additional methods for applying pump probe techniques to nanocrystals.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pump probe spectroscopy fundamentals
  • Familiarity with transient-absorption spectroscopy
  • Knowledge of nanocrystal (NC) properties and applications
  • Basic principles of laser spectroscopy
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced applications of transient-absorption spectroscopy in nanocrystal studies
  • Explore additional time-resolved techniques in "Laser Spectroscopy Volume 2" by Demtroeder
  • Investigate the latest developments in pump probe spectroscopy methodologies
  • Learn about the role of nanocrystals in photonic applications
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and chemists interested in ultrafast spectroscopy techniques, particularly those focusing on the study of nanocrystals and their applications in advanced materials science.

Hello there !

I am looking for a brief description of a pump probe technique. I am rather new to this subject, so I am interesting in such a good introductory articles or books. Your own explanations are always welcome ;)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No sub here ;)
 
Since you seem to be interested in free articles, why not give google a try? I just try typing "pump-probe spectroscopy" and I got some things that you may be interested in. As for books, I only know "Laser Spectroscopy Volume 2" by Demtroeder. This book specializes in exploring various experimental techniques using lasers, some of which involve time-resolved techniques. Chapter 6 might be what you are looking for.
 
Any ideas how these methods can be applied to study NCs?
 
If you tell me what an NC is, maybe.
 
NCs mean Nanocrystals in that case
 
Rebound, I think that the most used pomp and probe method to study NCs is Transient-absorption spectroscopy, but I am not quite sure. Could anybody verify this, and maybe know any other methods?
