complex systems due to lack of clear spectral signatures of charge transfer states.
Stark spectroscopy enables the identification of charge transfer states, their coupling
to other charge transfer and exciton states, and their involvement in charge separation processes. Conventional Stark spectroscopy will benefit from the implementation of Stark-2DES for the following reasons:
1. the correlation excitation/detection map obtained by 2DES should be able to push
the information about the change in dipole moment and polarizability of transitions available from conventional Stark spectroscopy. 2DES should thus reveal
coupling of charge transfer states to other electronic transitions of the system.
2. the additional waiting time dimension of 2DES may enable identification of
charge separation processes and the states that drive them.
7.4 Fluorescence 2DES
Phase-modulation two-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy was developed by
detecting the fluorescence out of a 2DES experiment [99]. Four phase-modulated
collinear pulses have controlled delays and the signal is retrieve by phase cycling
procedure where the phase-modulation fluorescence 2DES is based on a phase
selective detection scheme of the nonlinear signals.
This technique have been used for the characterization of the excitonic coupling
of dimer probes, and to determine dimer conformation. For instance, it was applied
to an electronically coupled porphyrin dimer in a biological membrane [85, 100] or
to probe the conformation-dependent electronic coupling of a dinucleotide of 2-aminopurine [101].
Fluorescence 2DES is a powerful technique to disentangle the dynamics of
excited states and the electronic couplings involved in dimers.
7.5 2DES Photo‑Current
An interesting approach to conventional optical heterodyne-detection techniques
employs the detection of the 2DES through photocurrent [65, 88, 102]. A sequence
of four collinear pulses creates the fourth-order population, which is detected by utilizing acousto-optic phase modulation of the first two excitation pulses in combination with phase-synchronous detection using a lock-in amplifier. This approach
offers several advantages compared to conventional 2DES methods:
1. simultaneous detection of the rephasing, non-rephasing, and two-quantum signals,
2. possibility to obtain diffraction-limited spatial resolution due to fully collinear
geometry.
2DES photo-current is particularly useful for the study of photovoltaic materials
[103] and other photo-devices, since it provides direct access to ultrafast dynamics
of the device under typical operating conditions.
