The lecture forms a unified theoretical ground for interpretation of non-linear spectroscopies and introduces the student into its recent applications in biophysics and chemical physics.
Aim of the course -
Last update: doc. Mgr. Tomáš Mančal, Ph.D. (11.02.2022)

To give an overview of theoretical methods of description and simulation of ultra-fast non-linear optical experiments. To enable students to solve practical problems in interpretation of time-resolved non-linear optical spectra.
