Abstract
The interest in ultrafast microscopic processes provides the driving force behind the development of methods and tools that allow time-resolved studies at ever shorter timescales. A short excitation pulse setting a process going and a short probe pulse for taking snapshots of subsequent stages of its evolution constitute the main tools for gaining access to fundamental physical, chemical and biological processes on a microscopic scale in the time domain.
