Reflection Geometry Electronic Two-dimensional Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

Studying dynamics in nanostructures is vital to develop new opto-electronic devices and to understand fundamental processes in the solid state. Electronic Two-dimensional Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (2DFTS) is a powerful technique that coherently probes the nonlinear optical polarization, establishing correlations between absorption and subsequent emission or dispersion. We perform 2DFTS in reflection, a novel experimental geometry that allows us to probe structured materials. The coupling features and dimensionally extended lineshapes revealed by 2DFTS provide a description of decoherence and dephasing processes, coherent and incoherent energy transfer, and relaxation.
