Abstract: The excitation of molecular systems by incoherent light is studied primarily using a V-system model in the Partial Secular Bloch-Redfield formalism. First, the dynamical regimes are characterized for a system irradiated by suddenly turned on light and the relevant timescales are defined in terms of system parameters. Then excitation by slowly turned-on light is studied, showing a decay in the magnitude of noise-induced coherences with increasing turn-on times, leading to their disapearance in the very slow turn-on limit relevant to many natural systems.
