A six-wave set-up is described to determine molecular dynamics in the condensed phase.Applying two independent time delays between excitation and probe pulses additionalinformation on the dynamics should be obtainable. We show experimentally that suchinvestigations can be carried out with noisy light having intensity fluctuations in thefemtosecond region. As first result we found a fast relaxation time in neat nitrobenzeneof 100 fs, becoming even faster in mixtures with low viscosity liquids. Switching on aRaman resonance yields a longer relaxation time, which could be explained by anadditional contribution by that vibration.
