Probing chirality fluctuations in molecules by nonlinear optical spectroscopy.
Symmetry breaking caused by geometric fluctuations can enable processes that are otherwise forbidden. An example is a perylene bisimide dyad whose dipole moments are perpendicular to each other. Förster-type energy transfer is thus forbidden at the equilibrium geometry since the dipolar coupling vanishes. Yet, fluctuations of the geometric arrangement have been shown to induce finite energy tra...
متن کاملNonlinear optical spectroscopy of chiral molecules.
We review nonlinear optical processes that are specific to chiral molecules in solution and on surfaces. In contrast to conventional natural optical activity phenomena, which depend linearly on the electric field strength of the optical field, we discuss how optical processes that are nonlinear (quadratic, cubic, and quartic) functions of the electromagnetic field strength may probe optically a...
متن کاملProbing dynamics of single molecules: Nonlinear spectroscopy approach.
A two level model of a single molecule undergoing spectral diffusion dynamics and interacting with a sequence of two short laser pulses is investigated. Analytical solution for the probability of n=0,1,2 photon emission events for the telegraph and Gaussian processes is obtained. We examine under what circumstances the photon statistics emerging from such pump-probe setup provides new informati...
متن کاملProbing electron correlations in molecules by two-dimensional coherent optical spectroscopy.
The nonlinear optical signal generated in phenol by three femtosecond pulses with wavevectors k1, k2, and k3 in the phase-matching direction k1 + k2 - k3 is simulated. This two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (2DCS) signal has a rich pattern containing information on double-excitation states. The signal vanishes for uncorrelated electrons due to interference among quantum pathways and, thus, ...
متن کاملProbing polar molecules with high harmonic spectroscopy.
We bring the methodology of orienting polar molecules together with the phase sensitivity of high harmonic spectroscopy to experimentally compare the phase difference of attosecond bursts of radiation emitted upon electron recollision from different ends of a polar molecule. This phase difference has an impact on harmonics from aligned polar molecules, suppressing emission from the molecules pa...
