Abstract
Recent years have witnessed the development of a myriad of applications of nonlinear spectroscopy, through which novel and subtle insights into electronic structure, molecular dynamics and coherent transient phenomena can be gleaned. Many of these nonlinear optical processes such as four-wave mixing, the optical Kerr effect and stimulated Raman scattering, are resonantly enhanced, parametric processes and operate through χ(3), the third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the system under study.
