A nonperturbative theory for the pump-probe absorption spectrum of Frenkel exciton chains is developed in the early saturation regime. In the J-aggregate configuration, the entire spectrum is blue-shifted in proportion to the pump intensity. The results are in good agreement with experiment.

✦ Synopsis
We have measured the picosecond pump-probe spectra of BIC J aggregates using a spectral continuum for the probe. The excitation pulses were intense ( 10L5-2 x lOI photons/cm*) and created many excitons per aggregate. The observed dynamics are intensity dependent and reflect exciton-exciton annihilation processes. In addition, the zero-time spectrum is also intensity dependent, probably due to a reduction of k space at high exciton concentrations.
