Abstract
The authors derive general expressions for the time dependence of off-diagonal matrix elements of the density operator for single-mode light subjected to two-photon absorption. In conjugation with previous results for the diagonal matrix elements, they enable all measurable properties of the light to be calculated. The case of electric-field measurements is briefly considered.Keywords
