Abstract
The advance in laser technology and the progress in our understanding of nonlinear optical phenomena have opened up the possibility of generating intense picosecond light pulses in the spectral region extending from the near uv to the infrared /1,2/. Investigators in the field were quickly fascinated by the exceptional time resolution which can be achieved by these pulses allowing direct studies of ultrafast molecular processes in condensed phases. In fact, numerous investigations were conducted by several laboratories on a wide variety of problems during the past years /3/.
