location:		MPI-PKS, Nöthnitzer Str. 38, seminar room TBA
content:		Fourier transform spectroscopy is a measurement technique whereby spectra (as function of frequency) are obtained based on measurements of the coherence of a radiative source, using time-domain signals. The lecture will give a introduction into the basic theoretical concepts and experimental realizations. We will in particular discuss linear and non-linear optical spectra.
