Multidimensional spectroscopy with entangled light; loop vs ladder delay scanning protocols

Abstract

Multidimensional optical signals are commonly recorded by varying the delays between time ordered pulses. These control the evolution of the density matrix and are described by ladder diagrams. We propose a new non-time-ordered protocol based on following the time evolution of the wavefunction and described by loop diagrams. The time variables in this protocol allow to observe different types of resonances and reveal information about intraband dephasing not readily available by time ordered techniques. The time variables involved in this protocol become coupled when using entangled light, which provides high selectivity and background free measurement of the various resonances. Entangled light can resolve certain states even when strong background due to fast dephasing suppresses the resonant features when probed by classical light.
