Abstract

Spectra that are narrower than the natural width of decaying states can be achieved by beginning the observation of signals at a fixed delay time after excitation rather than immediately afterward. These signals are weaker (and noisier) than the full, time-unresolved signals. Applications of this line-narrowing technique to precision spectroscopy are discussed, and the properties of the resulting signals are studied. Numerical simulations demonstrate that time-resolved line narrowing is highly desirable in a large number of cases.
