气相介质中二维电子光谱的实验研究

Two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectroscopy has been used to explicitly trace the electronic dynamics with femtosecond accuracy, which provides a novel, attractive ultrafast spectral method over the past decade. In the proposal, passively phase-stable 2D electronic spectroscopy based on a four-quadrant mirror is designed and developed. The new design, which is particularly simple and robust, achieves subwavelength stability without the need for active stabilization. Since only reflective optical components are used, the setup is suitable for few-cycle laser pulses and ultrabroad-bandwidth light in the ultraviolet, visible and near-IR region, which will provide a versatile tool for chemical physics, material science, biophysics and other interdisciplines. Moreover, in the proposal, the 2D spectroscopy is creatively extended from condensed-phase to gas-phase medium, from perturbative nonlinear optics to nonperturbative nonlinear optics, and from resonance to off-resonance absorption. The 2D spectroscopy in gas-phase will been applied to observe the temporal evolution of highly-excited electron (or free electron) wave-packet, allowing to investigate the ultrafast processes including electronic relaxation, quantum beats and coherent dephasing with femtosecond accuracy. The new spectral method will provide a new perspective into electronic dynamics in atomic and molecular physics and strong-field nonlinear optics.
