Abstract
In excited state absorption measurements intense pump pulses promote molecules to excited states and weak probe beams induce transitions to higher lying states. The measurement of absolute excited state absorption cross-sections is complicated by the fact that the transmission of probe light depends on the number of excited molecules, on their orientational distribution and on the angle between the involved transition moments.
