Determination of hot carrier energy distributions from inversion of ultrafast pump-probe reflectivity measurements

The determination of thermal and non-thermal carrier populations in plasmonic systems generally requires assumptions on the types of distributions present. Here, Heilpern et al. directly determine such populations in thin film pump-probe measurements using a double inversion procedure.
