The generated coherent superposition state be described as an optical polarization which exists only in non-equilibrium situations. The coherence, i.e., the phase relations between the optical transitions that originate from the excitation, leads to several interesting effects in time-resolved linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy. In this article, the basic principles that underlie these coherent transients are introduced and several examples are presented.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"43193","year":"2018","publisher":"Elsevier","publication":"Encyclopedia of Modern Optics (Second Edition)","date_created":"2023-03-29T20:39:59Z","status":"public","author":[{"id":"344","last_name":"Meier","first_name":"Torsten","orcid":"0000-0001-8864-2072","full_name":"Meier, Torsten"},{"full_name":"Koch, S.W.","first_name":"S.W.","last_name":"Koch"}],"page":"264-277","intvolume":"         4","user_id":"16199","type":"book_chapter","title":"Foundations of Coherent Transients in Semiconductors","date_updated":"2023-04-21T11:35:24Z","publication_status":"published","volume":4,"editor":[{"first_name":"Bob","last_name":"Guenther","full_name":"Guenther, Bob"},{"full_name":"Steel, Duncan","first_name":"Duncan","last_name":"Steel"}],"department":[{"_id":"293"},{"_id":"35"},{"_id":"15"},{"_id":"170"},{"_id":"230"}],"doi":"10.1016/B978-0-12-803581-8.09564-3"}
