Pump Probe Spectroscopy: Introduction to a Powerful Technique

[Imperatore]

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 ;)

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?

 

[DrDu]

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?
