Resonance lineshapes in two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscopy

Opt Express. 2010 Aug 16;18(17):17699-708. doi: 10.1364/OE.18.017699.

Abstract

We derive an analytical form for resonance lineshapes in two-dimensional (2D) Fourier transform spectroscopy. Our starting point is the solution of the optical Bloch equations for a two-level system in the 2D time domain. Application of the projection-slice theorem of 2D Fourier transforms reveals the form of diagonal and cross-diagonal slices in the 2D frequency data for arbitrary inhomogeneity. The results are applied in quantitative measurements of homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening of multiple resonances in experimental data.
