title: Single molecule counting statistics for systems with periodic driving.
abstract: We extend the generating function approach for calculation of event statistics observed in single molecule spectroscopy to cases where the single molecule evolves under explicitly time-dependent and periodic perturbation. Floquet theory is used to recast the generating function equations for the periodically driven system into effective equations devoid of explicit time-dependence. Two examples are considered, one employing simple stochastic dynamics and the other quantum dynamics, to demonstrate the versatility and numerical accuracy of the methodology.
