Annotation
Lecture is focused on practical aspects of optical spectroscopy, in particular on measurement of 2D electronic spectra. Participants should acquire knowledge and skills needed to perform 2DES experiment.
The lecture creates an opportunity to use basic optics knowledge in practice and at the same time gain insight into a non-trivial spectroscopic experiment. Participants will work with a unique apparatus for measuring 2DES spectra.
