Abstract
A method and a device for spectroscopic detection of molecules, containing a resonance body, an apparatus for identifying a vibration of the resonance body and at least one laser light source, the laser light of which interacts with the molecules to be detected and which is designed to emit light pulses with a duration of less than 200 fs, the device also containing apparatus for pulse shaping the light pulses emitted by the laser light source by modulating the amplitude and/or the phase, to generate sequentially different pulse shapes of the light pulses.

34. A method for spectroscopic detection of molecules, said method comprising the following steps:
-
Generating light pulses with a duration of less than 200 fs and a predeterminable pulse shape, Allowing the light pulses to interact with the molecules to be detected, Allowing the molecules to be detected to interact with the resonance body, thereby causing a vibration of the resonance body, Detecting the vibration of the resonance body, and Repeating the aforementioned steps sequentially, thereby generating different pulse shapes of the light pulses. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
