Abstract
In this article some recent results from a nonlinear approach to the application of subnanosecond laser pulses to the investigation of molecular interactions and excited state dynamics are briefly described. The method involves the optical generation of a transient holographic diffraction grating in a sample, and the observation of various time and frequency dependent phenomena via subsequent Bragg diffraction from the induced grating. The basic experiment works in the following manner.
