Talapin, Jochen Feldmann 272 vii Preface Many natural processes can be described as a sequence of events, the earliest of which takes place on very short time scale. Laser pulses are the only tool that can be adopted to study such phenomena in real time. This has motivated a huge effort in generation, characterization, detection and application of ultrashort laser pulses. The ultrafast science community has grown in size and impact since 1960, when the first ps optical pulses were produced. The set of techniques and experiments now available is very broad. Laser sources are becoming more and more user friendly, and experiments are well characterized. Yet a distinct specialization is still required and this justifies the gathering of a dedicated community. Far from being a close enclave however ultrafast science is at the frontier of many research areas and provide a reliable contribution to modelling and understanding of phenomena. The recent 7th International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies (ICMAT) in Singapore has hosted a Symposium on Ultrafast Dynamics that has been particularly successful in terms of attendance and quality of the talks. This is once again evidence of a lively community able to bring innovation and results. This prompted us to collect part of the contributions in a monograph with tutorial introduction that can help the newcomers to approach the field as well us the expert to be up dated. The present volume comprises articles that contain detailed description of the ultrafast methods in spectroscopy, i.e. polarization resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, fluorescence up-conversion, real-time vibrational spectroscopy, multidimensional 2D and 3D optical spectroscopy, ultrafast optical microscopy, vibrational spectroscopy via second harmonic and sum-frequency generation on surfaces, transient absorption data analysis. Fundamentals of the light matter interaction are discussed and various applications, e.g. in organic photovoltaics, vision, photosynthesis, singlet fission, interfaces, semiconductor nanowires, plasmonics are elaborated.
