  abstract = {<p>In this work, a dual-beam measurement technique is presented to measure the short-time-scale optical properties of novel materials. It is shown that the picosecond continuum probe source obtained from nonlinear interaction with H<sub>2</sub>O/D<sub>2</sub>O is highly variable and does not permit detection of small changes in absorption /transmission spectra. The dual-beam approach is proposed to allow simultaneous measurement of a sample's properties in both the excited and steady states. As an example, the technique is applied to the picosecond transmission spectrum of light-emitting porous silicon. Photo-induced absorption is observed at a level that could not be detected without the new technique.</p>},
