The third-order optical response function of a chromophore coupled to a bath consisting of noninteracting two-level systems (TLSs) undergoing stochastic jumps is calculated. The results can be applied to a broad class of nonlinear optical techniques in single-molecule spectroscopy and bulk measureme...
