Abstract :
Summary form only given.In this contribution we present a theoretical analysis in which the frequency- and time-domain formalism of ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy is thoroughly reexamined. The complete expressions valid even for single-cycle-pulse applications are derived for the nonlinear signal in the frequency and time domains. We also assert that the influence of geometrical delay smearing does not introduce a significant distortion of the observed traces provided that the geometry is carefully optimized. The derived formalism is applied to photon-echo spectroscopy on the hydrated electron with 5-fs pulses.
