Title: Chirping the probe pulse in a coherent transients experiment

Abstract

Coherent transients occur when a chirped pump pulse excites a two-level transition. They have been observed with an ultrashort probe pulse. Several studies have been dedicated to using various pump shapes. In this study, the roles of the pump and the probe pulses are reversed. With a Fourier-transform-limited pump pulse followed by a chirped-probe pulse, similar effects can be observed. Finally, the case of two pulses with opposite chirps is considered.
