Abstract
We demonstrate a two-dimensional time-domain spectroscopy method to extract amplitude and phase modifications of excited atomic states caused by the interaction with ultrashort laser pulses. The technique is based on Fourier analysis of the absorption spectrum of perturbed polarization decay. An analytical description of the method reveals how amplitude and phase information can be directly obtained from measurements. We apply the method experimentally to the helium atom, which is excited by attosecond-pulsed extreme ultraviolet light, to characterize laser-induced couplings of doubly-excited states.
