Motivated by pump–probe experiments of I2 in a room-temperature sample, the detection of fractional revivals is investigated using full-dimensional quantum wave packet calculations. It is shown that the structures observed in the pump–probe signal depend sensitively on the probe parameters employed and that the observed signal reflects a particular phase effect between fractional revivals.
