Abstract
Abstract
This chapter focuses on spectroscopic applications of time dependent quantum mechanics focusing on molecular spectroscopy in condensed phases. (1) Molecular spectroscopy in the dressed state picture. (2) Resonance Raman scattering. (3) Resonance energy transfer. (4) Collective excitation and emission. (5) Thermal relaxation and dephasing (the Bloch equations, relaxation of a prepared state, dephasing (decoherence), the absorption lineshape, homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening, motional narrowing, thermal effects in resonance Raman scattering). (6) A case study: Resonance Raman scattering and fluorescence from Azulene in a Naphthalene matrix. (7) Probing inhomogeneous bands (hole-burning spectroscopy, photon echoes, single-molecule spectroscopy. (8) Optical response functions.
