INhomogenieties and fluctuations in quantum CohErent matter Phases by ultrafast optical Tomography (INCEPT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2021,

Standard time domain experiments measure the time evolution of the reflected/transmitted mean number of photons in the probe pulses. The evolution of the response of a material is typically averaged over the illuminated area as well as over many pump and probe measurements repeated stroboscopically. The aim of this project is to extend time domain optical spectroscopy beyond mean photon number mea ...
