To take advantage of the singular properties of matter, as well as to characterize it, we need to interact with it. The role of optical spectroscopies is to enable us to demonstrate the existence of physical objects by observing their response to light excitation. The ability of spectroscopy to reveal the structure and properties of matter then relies on mathematical functions called optical (or dielectric) response functions. Technically, these are tensor Green’s functions, and not scalar functions. The complexity of this tensor formalism sometimes leads to confusion within some articles and books. Here, we do clarify this formalism by introducing the physical foundations of linear and non-linear spectroscopies as simple and rigorous as possible. We dwell on both the mathematical and experimental aspects, examining extinction, infrared, Raman and sum-frequency generation spectroscopies. In this review, we thus give a personal presentation with the aim of offering the reader a coherent vision of linear and non-linear optics, and to remove the ambiguities that we have encountered in reference books and articles.

The paper highlights the role of communities of monks and nuns (the Third Orders) inthe structure and activity of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), which functionedunderground. It is emphasized that the historical roots of the Third Order are traced back to the13th century when spiritual life of specific lay communities was regulated by the Franciscan andthe Dominican Orders, and later, by the Carmelite Order. Between 1900 and 1930s lay communitiesof the UGCC became noticeably active. A characteristic example of their activity is the well knownRules for laypersons of the Basilian Order drawn by Metropolitan Archbishop Andrey Sheptytsky.In the 1970s (the Soviet time, when the UGCC worked underground), there appeared theRedemptorist and the Basilian Third Orders in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. Their members kept insafety different cult objects, held underground Divine Services, meetings, had spiritual practices,did catechesis, etc. On the whole, these lay communities had played an important role in theUGCC underground activity up till the late 1980s

First-principles modeling of nonlinear optical spectra in the condensed phase is highly challenging because both environment and vibronic interactions can play a large role in determining spectral shapes and excited state dynamics. Here, we compute two dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) signals based on a cumulant expansion of the energy gap fluctuation operator, with a specific focus on analyzing mode mixing effects introduced by the Duschinsky rotation and the role of the third order term in the cumulant expansion for both model and realistic condensed phase systems. We show that for a harmonic model system, the third order cumulant correction captures effects introduced by a mismatch in curvatures of ground and excited state potential energy surfaces, as well as effects of mode mixing. We also demonstrate that 2DES signals can be accurately reconstructed from purely classical correlation functions using quantum correction factors. We then compute nonlinear optical spectra for the Nile red and Methylene blue chromophores in solution, assessing the third order cumulant contribution for realistic systems. We show that the third order cumulant correction is strongly dependent on the treatment of the solvent environment, revealing the interplay between environmental polarization and the electronic-vibrational coupling.
