Time-resolved two-dimensional spectroscopy of optically driven atomic sublevel coherences

Abstract

Coherences between atomic substates are driven by a resonant interaction with light and transferred between individual sublevel transitions. We present an experimental scheme, based on two-dimensional Fourier-transform spectroscopy, that allows direct observation of this coherence transfer.

Using individually shaped three pulses in 2D Fourier transform optical spectroscopy, we retrieve and coherently control the amplitude and phase of the two-photon transition between 5P1/2 and 5P3/2 levels in atomic Rubidium.

Quantum control in two-dimensional Fourier-transform spectroscopy

We present a method that harnesses coherent control capability to two-dimensional Fourier-transform optical spectroscopy. For this, three ultrashort laser pulses are individually shaped to prepare and control the quantum interference involved in two-photon interexcited-state transitions of a $\mathsf{V}$-type quantum system. In experiments performed with atomic rubidium, quantum control for the enhancement and reduction of the 5$P$${}_{1/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}$ 5$P$${}_{3/2}$ transition was successfully tested in which the engineered transitions were distinguishably extracted in the presence of dominant one-photon transitions.

Advances in optical two-dimensional spectroscopy applied to the study of semiconductor and atomic systems

Electronic structure and dynamics are captured by optical 2D-Fourier-transform (2DFT) spectroscopy, which tracks the phase of the nonlinear signal during two time delays of a multi-pulse excitation sequence. These Fourier-transformed spectra separate and isolate overlapping and competing contributions to the coherent response. We have developed an ultra-stable platform consisting of nested interferometers with active phase control, allowing for exploration of single- and two-quantum coherences. Phase-resolved spectra are retrieved by all-optical determination of experimental phase ambiguities. GaAs quantum wells show suppression of many-body interactions in cross-linear polarized 2DFT spectra and many-body two-quantum coherences. Potassium vapor also shows unexpected two-quantum coherences.

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.

Two-dimensional Fourier transform optical spectroscopy of GaAs quantum wells

Two-dimensional Fourier-transform optical spectroscopy is demonstrated on GaAs quantum-wells. The signal is measured phase coherently with respect to the evolution time, enabling Fourier analysis. Coupling between heavy and light hole excitons yields cross-peaks.

We demonstrate the advantage of coherent control technique in 2D Fourier transform optical spectroscopy on atomic model system. By spectrally shaping individual pulses, we selectively turn on and off target couplings.
