Double-quantum two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy of a three-level system: Experiments and simulations
(2010) In Journal of Chemical Physics 133(9).- Abstract
- Double-quantum coherence two-dimensional (2Q2D) electronic spectroscopy is utilized to probe the dynamic fluctuations of electronic states in a solvated molecule at approximately twice the energy of the ground state bleach transition. The 2Q2D spectrum gives insight into the energetic position and spectral fluctuations (system-bath interaction) of the probed excited states. Combining it with single-quantum two-dimensional (1Q2D) electronic spectroscopy enables one to determine the strength of the excited state absorption transition and the relative detuning of electronic states, as well as the dynamics of the single-quantum coherence. To investigate the correlation of spectral fluctuations in different electronically excited states, we... (More)

The 2Q2D spectrum gives insight into the energetic position and spectral fluctuations (system-bath interaction) of the probed excited states. Combining it with single-quantum two-dimensional (1Q2D) electronic spectroscopy enables one to determine the strength of the excited state absorption transition and the relative detuning of electronic states, as well as the dynamics of the single-quantum coherence. To investigate the correlation of spectral fluctuations in different electronically excited states, we have carried out experiments on a solvated dye (Rhodamine 6G) with 23 fs pulses centered at the maximum of the linear absorption spectrum. The 2Q2D spectrum reveals three peaks of alternating signs with the major negative peak located at higher frequencies along the emission axis compared to the single positive peak. The 1Q2D spectrum, on the other hand, shows a negative peak stemming from excited state absorption at lower frequencies along the emission axis. Analysis of the signal in the homogeneous limit fails to account for this observation as well as the number of peaks in the 2Q2D spectrum. Employing a three-level model in which all time correlations of the third-order response function are accounted for via second-order cumulant expansion gives good agreement with both the 1Q2D and 2Q2D data. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the fluctuations of the probed electronic states are highly correlated, reflecting the modulation by a common nuclear bath and similarities in the nature of the electronic transitions.
