Reflection optical two-dimensional Fourier-transform spectroscopy

Abstract

We have developed a technique to perform optical two-dimensional Fourier-transform (2DFT) spectroscopy in a reflection geometry. Various reflection 2DFT spectra are obtained for an atomic vapor. The technique is useful for the cases where optical 2DFT spectroscopy cannot be performed in the transmission geometry.

Optical two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscopy of semiconductor nanostructures [Invited]

Optical two-dimensional Fourier transform (2DFT) spectroscopy has been developed over the last decade as a powerful tool for studying a variety of physical systems, ranging from atoms to molecules to solids. This review covers our use of 2DFT spectroscopy to study exciton dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures. In quantum wells, 2DFT spectroscopy confirms the importance of many-body contributions to the coherent optical response and reveals nonradiative double-quantum and Raman coherences. For natural quantum dots, 2DFT spectroscopy enables ensemble measurements of the homogeneous linewidth, including the temperature and density dependence. Relaxation from quantum well states into the quantum dots can also be studied using 2DFT spectroscopy.

Optical single- and double-quantum three-dimensional Fourier-transform spectra are obtained for atomic vapors. We show that three-dimensional spectra can be used to identify the Hamiltonian of complex systems and to reveal the nature of many-body interactions.

Two-dimensional Fourier-transform spectroscopy of potassium vapor

Xingcan Dai, Alan D. Bristow, D. Karaiskaj +1 more

Optical two-dimensional Fourier-transform (2DFT) spectroscopy is used to study the coherent optical response of potassium vapor in a thin transmission cell. Rephasing and nonrephasing spectra of the ${D}_{1}$ and ${D}_{2}$ transitions are obtained and compared to numerical simulations. Non-perturbative calculations using the optical Bloch equations give very good agreement with the experimental peak strengths and line shapes. Nonradiative Raman-like coherences are isolated using a different 2DFT projection. Comparison between the optical and Raman linewidths shows that dephasing is due to partially correlated energy fluctuations. Density-dependent measurements show distortion of 2DFT spectra due to pulse propagation effects.

Two-Quantum Coherences in Optical Two-Dimensional Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

We present optical two-dimensional Fourier transform spectra for the pulse sequence sensitive to two-quantum coherences. In semiconductors, two-quantum coherences occur due to biexcitons and many-body effects, in a potassium vapor, they arise from atomic interactions.

Isolating spectral contributions from local field effects in an atomic vapor using two-quantum 2D FT optical spectroscopy

Two-quantum 2D Fourier transform optical spectroscopy is used to separate the contributions of dipole-dipole interactions to the overall nonlinear optical response which isolates them from the atomic resonances in rubidium vapor that generated them.
