Two-dimensional vibronic spectroscopy of coherent wave-packet motion

Volker Engel
Universität Würzburg
Photon echo experiments use the interaction of three time-delayed laser pulses to induce a time-dependent polarization in a sample which then leads to the emission of radiation in a selected direction. Detecting a signal as a function of two times yields, upon Fourier-transformation, a two-dimensional (2D) spectrum. We present several examples for the 2D-spectroscopy of gas-phase molecules. In particular, the role of vibronic motion is addressed.
