  There has been significant interest in the generation of very short-lived
superconducting states in solid-state films. Here we consider the role of
non-equilibrium superconducting fluctuations in such systems, generated by an
interaction quench, considering the limit of large static disorder. In
particular, we argue that because of critical slowing down, the regime of the
fluctuation dominated \emph{normal state} is more important than might be
na\"ively thought. We show how such a state might appear in the optical
conductivity, and give the appropriate non-equilibrium generalization of the
Azlamazov-Larkin and Maki-Thompson fluctuation corrections to the optical
conductivity. For a quench to the superconducting critical point, we show that
the fluctuation corrections lead to power-law aging behavior in the optical
conductivity. The power-law aging from Azlamazov-Larkin and Maki-Thompson terms
are qualitatively different, despite the effect of the two being similar in dc
measurements in thermal equilibrium. These signatures provide a road-map for
experiments to identify the role of superconducting fluctuations in a transient
state.
