Femtosecond Wavepacket Spectroscopy: Influence of Temperature
... The same argument applies to probe diffraction off a pumpinduced transient grating, since the grating does not exist without the pump. Time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopies detect only a change caused by the pump. In section IV, we shall show that this allows any pump-probe signal to be calculated ...
