A theory of the dynamical ultrafast optical excitation of model superconductors is presented. We consider excitation of a nonequilibrium quasiparticle distribution via a femtosecond optical pulse and the subsequent scattering with optical phonons. The scattering processes lead to a recombination of the excited quasiparticles to equilibrated cooper pairs. Using the density matrix formalism, relaxation processes on a picosecond timescale and time-resolved pump-probe spectra are calculated.
