Multiple-quantum 2D spectroscopy of many-body correlations in GaAs quantum wells
Multiple-quantum two-dimensional Fourier transform optical (2D FTOPT) spectroscopy was developed and conducted on GaAs quantum wells. Spatiotemporal femtosecond pulse shaping was used to control the optical phases and time delays of ultrashort pulses in multiple non-collinear beams so that fully coh...

Summary: | Multiple-quantum two-dimensional Fourier transform optical (2D FTOPT) spectroscopy was developed and conducted on GaAs quantum wells. Spatiotemporal femtosecond pulse shaping was used to control the optical phases and time delays of ultrashort pulses in multiple non-collinear beams so that fully coherent four-wave and higher-order mixing measurements could be conducted without delay stages, multiple interferometers, or any active phase control. Coherences of biexcitons, unbound but correlated exciton pairs, and excitons undergoing rephasing were observed directly. |
