These hole-burning effects in intracavity absorbers have attracted increapd interest because they are, besides their application to high-resolu on spectroscopy, surprisingly useful for extreme frequency stabilization of gas lasers, as will be shown in the next section 339a)...

We are beginning to develop a detailed understanding of these methods (18,21,30,33,34,37-40,42,44,47-49), many of which are described in this book. We have recently demonstrated a series of novel nonlinear all-IR spectroscopic techniques (IR-pump-IR-probe, IR-three-pulse photon echoes, IR-dynamic hole burning, IR-2D spectroscopy), all of them utilizing intense femtosecond IR pulses, with the intention to develop new multidimensional spectroscopic tools to study the structure and the dynamics of proteins (30,31,41,42,50-53). We shall summarize in this contribution our work, its underlying principles, and its applications. 

Interesting applications of the principle of hole-burning have been reported in optical holography, using biological molecules or polymers [30], [31]. However, we shall not go further into the details of that work, nor of the applications of holeburning to molecular spectroscopy.
