Abstract
The effects of the pump-polarization in a degenerate pump/probe experiment are analyzed. It is shown that modulating the pump polarization from linear to circular induces a modulation in the probe absorption change that allow s to separate various contributions that are mixed in the signal. An experi mental demonstration is carried out in a laser dye (Coumarin 500).
