Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite quantum wells exhibit electronic structures with properties intermediate between those of inorganic semiconductors and molecular crystals. In these systems, periodic layers of organic spacer molecules occupy the interstitial spaces between perovskite sheets, thereby confining electronic excitations to two dimensions. Here, we investigate spectroscopic line broadening mechanisms for phonons coupled to excitons in lead-iodide layered perovskites with phenyl ethyl ammonium (PEA) and azobenzene ethyl ammonium (AzoEA) spacer cations. Using a modified Elliot line shape analysis for the absorbance and photoluminescence spectra, polaron binding energies of 11.2 and 17.5 meV are calculated for (PEA)2PbI4 and (AzoEA)2PbI4, respectively. To determine whether the polaron stabilization processes influence the dephasing mechanisms of coupled phonons, five-pulse coherent Raman spectroscopies are applied to the two systems under electronically resonant conditions. The prominence of inhomogeneous line broadening mechanisms detected in (AzoEA)2PbI4 suggests that thermal fluctuations involving the deformable organic phase broaden the distributions of phonon frequencies within the quantum wells. In addition, our data indicate that polaron stabilization primarily involves photoinduced reorganization of the organic phases for both systems, whereas the impulsively excited phonons represent less than 10% of the total polaron binding energy. The signal generation mechanisms associated with our fifth-order coherent Raman experiments are explored with a perturbative model in which cumulant expansions are used to account for time-coincident vibrational dephasing and polaron stabilization processes.

Abstract
Conventional time-of-flight methods can be used to determine carrier mobilities for photovoltaic cells in which the transit time between electrodes is greater than the RC time constant of the device. To measure carrier drift on sub-ns timescales, we have recently developed a two-pulse time-of-flight technique capable of detecting drift velocities with 100-ps time resolution in perovskite materials. In this method, the rates of carrier transit across the active layer of a device are determined by varying the delay time between laser pulses and measuring the magnitude of the recombination-induced nonlinearity in the photocurrent. Here, we present a related experimental approach in which diffractive optic-based transient grating spectroscopy is combined with our two-pulse time-of-flight technique to simultaneously probe drift and diffusion in orthogonal directions within the active layer of a photovoltaic cell. Carrier density gratings are generated using two time-coincident pulse-pairs with passively stabilized phases. Relaxation of the grating amplitude associated with the first pulse-pair is detected by varying the delay and phase of the density grating corresponding to the second pulse-pair. The ability of the technique to reveal carrier diffusion is demonstrated with model calculations and experiments conducted using MAPbI3 photovoltaic cells.

Abstract
Single-beam spectrally controlled (SBSC) two-dimensional (2D) Raman spectroscopy is a unique 2D vibrational measurement technique utilizing trains of short pulses that are generated from a single broadband pulse by pulse shaping. This approach overcomes the difficulty of 2D Raman spectroscopy in dealing with small-signal extraction and avoids complicated low-order cascading effects, thus providing a new possibility for measuring the intramolecular and intermolecular modes of molecular liquids using fifth-order 2D Raman spectroscopy. Recently, for quantitatively investigating the mode-mode coupling mechanism, Hurwitz et al. [Opt. Express 28, 3803 (2020)] have developed a new pulse design for this measurement to separate the contributions of the fifth- and third-order polarizations, which are often overlapped in the original single-beam measurements. Here, we describe a method for simulating these original measurements and the new 2D Raman measurements on the basis of a second-order response function approach. We carry out full molecular dynamics simulations for carbon tetrachloride and liquid water using an equilibrium-nonequilibrium hybrid algorithm, with the aim of explaining the key features of the SBSC 2D Raman spectroscopic method from a theoretical point of view. The predicted signal profiles and intensities provide valuable information that can be applied to 2D spectroscopy experiments, allowing them to be carried out more efficiently.

Abstract
The simulation of multidimensional vibrational spectroscopy of condensed-phase systems including nuclear quantum effects is challenging since full quantum-mechanical calculations are still intractable for large systems comprising many degrees of freedom. Here, we apply the recently developed double Kubo transform (DKT) methodology in combination with ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) for evaluating multi-time correlation functions [K. A. Jung et al., J. Chem. Phys. 148, 244105 (2018)], providing a practical method for incorporating nuclear quantum effects in nonlinear spectroscopy of condensed-phase systems. We showcase the DKT approach in the simulation of the fifth-order two-dimensional (2D) Raman spectroscopy of Lennard-Jones liquids as a prototypical example, which involves nontrivial nonlinear spectroscopic observables of systems described by anharmonic potentials. Our results show that the DKT can faithfully reproduce the 2D Raman response of liquid xenon at high temperatures, where the system behaves classically. In contrast, liquid neon at low temperatures exhibits moderate but discernible nuclear quantum effects in the 2D Raman response compared to the responses obtained with classical molecular dynamics approaches. Thus, the DKT formalism in combination with RPMD simulations enables simulations of multidimensional optical spectroscopy of condensed-phase systems that partially account for nuclear quantum effects.

Abstract
Two-dimensional resonance Raman (2DRR) spectroscopies have been used to investigate the structural heterogeneity of ensembles and chemical reaction mechanisms in recent years. Our previous work suggests that the intensities of artifacts may be comparable to the desired 2DRR response for some chemical systems and experimental approaches. In a type of artifact known as a "cascade," the four-wave mixing signal field radiated by one molecule induces a four-wave mixing process in a second molecule. We consider the susceptibility of 2DRR spectroscopy to various types of signal cascades in the present work. Calculations are conducted using empirical parameters obtained for a molecule with an intramolecular charge-transfer transition in acetonitrile. For a fully impulsive pulse sequence, it is shown that "parallel" cascades involving two solute molecules are generally more intense than that of the desired 2DRR response when the solute's mode displacements are 1.0 or less. In addition, we find that the magnitudes of parallel cascades involving both solute and solvent molecules (i.e., a solute-solvent cascade) may exceed that of the 2DRR response when the solute possesses small mode displacements. It is tempting to assume that solute-solvent cascades possess negligible intensities because the off-resonant Raman cross sections of solvents are usually 4-6 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the electronically resonant solute; however, the present calculations show that the difference in solute and solvent concentrations can fully compensate for the difference in Raman cross sections under common experimental conditions. Implications for control experiments and alternate approaches for 2DRR spectroscopy are discussed.

Abstract
We report fifth-order time-domain Raman spectroscopy of photoactive yellow protein (PYP), with the aim to visualize vibrational coupling in its excited state. After the ultrashort actinic pump pulse prepared the vibrational coherence and population in the excited state, the evolving vibrational structure was tracked by time-resolved impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy using sub-7-fs pulses. The obtained fifth-order time-domain Raman data were translated to a two-dimensional (2D) frequency-frequency correlation map, which visualizes the correlation between low- and high-frequency vibrational modes of the excited state. The 2D map of PYP reveals a cross peak, indicating the coupling between the phenolic C─O stretch mode of the chromophore and the low-frequency modes (~160 cm-1), assignable to the intermolecular motions involving the surrounding hydrogen-bonded amino acids. The unveiled coupling suggests the importance of the low-frequency vibrational motion in the primary photoreaction of PYP, highlighting the unique capability of this spectroscopic approach for studying ultrafast reaction dynamics.

Abstract
Multidimensional ultrafast spectroscopies are one of the premier tools to investigate condensed phase dynamics of biological, chemical and functional nanomaterial systems. As they reach maturity, the variety of frequency domains that can be explored has vastly increased, with experimental techniques capable of correlating excitation and emission frequencies from the terahertz through to the ultraviolet. Some of the most recent innovations also include extreme cross-peak spectroscopies that directly correlate the dynamics of electronic and vibrational states. This review article summarizes the key technological advances that have permitted these recent advances, and the insights gained from new multidimensional spectroscopic probes.

Abstract
Nonlinear optical signals in the condensed phase are often accompanied by sequences of lower-order processes, known as cascades, which share the same phase matching and power dependence on the incoming fields and are thus hard to distinguish. The suppression of cascading in order to reveal the desired nonlinear signal has been a major challenge in multidimensional Raman spectroscopy, that is, the χ(5) signal being masked by cascading signals given by a product of two χ(3) processes. Because cascading originates from the exchange of a virtual photon between molecules, it can be manipulated by performing the experiment in an optical microcavity which modifies the density of radiation field modes. Using a quantum electrodynamical (QED) treatment, we demonstrate that the χ(3) cascading contributions can be greatly suppressed. By optimizing the cavity size and the incoming pulse directions, we show that up to ∼99.5% suppression of the cascading signal is possible.

Abstract
Recent developments in two-dimensional (2D) THz-Raman and 2D Raman spectroscopies have created the possibility for quantitatively investigating the role of many dynamic and structural aspects of the molecular system. We explain the significant points for properly simulating 2D vibrational spectroscopic studies of intermolecular modes using the full molecular dynamics approach, in particular, regarding the system size, the treatment of the thermostat, and inclusion of an Ewald summation for the induced polarizability. Moreover, using the simulation results for water employing various polarization functions, we elucidate the roles of permanent and induced optical properties in determining the 2D profiles of the signal.

Abstract
Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) reveals connections between an optical excitation at a given frequency and the signals it creates over a wide range of frequencies. These connections, manifested as cross-peak locations and their lineshapes, reflect the underlying electronic and vibrational structure of the system under study. How these spectroscopic signatures evolve in time reveals the system dynamics and provides a detailed picture of coherent and incoherent processes. 2DES is rapidly maturing and has already found numerous applications, including studies of photosynthetic energy transfer and photochemical reactions and many-body interactions in nanostructured materials. Many systems of interest contain electronic transitions spanning the ultraviolet to the near infrared and beyond. Most 2DES measurements to date have explored a relatively small frequency range. We discuss the challenges of implementing 2DES and compare and contrast different approaches in terms of their information content, ease of implementation, and potential for broadband measurements.

Abstract
New free-electron laser and high-harmonic generation X-ray light sources are capable of supplying pulses short and intense enough to perform resonant nonlinear time-resolved experiments in molecules. Valence-electron motions can be triggered impulsively by core excitations and monitored with high temporal and spatial resolution. We discuss possible experiments that employ attosecond X-ray pulses to probe the quantum coherence and correlations of valence electrons and holes, rather than the charge density alone, building on the analogy with existing studies of vibrational motions using femtosecond techniques in the visible regime.

Abstract
Obtaining a detailed description of photochemical reactions in solution requires measuring time-evolving structural dynamics of transient chemical species on ultrafast time scales. Time-resolved vibrational spectroscopies are sensitive probes of molecular structure and dynamics in solution. In this work, we develop doubly resonant fifth-order nonlinear visible-infrared spectroscopies to probe nonequilibrium vibrational dynamics among coupled high-frequency vibrations during an ultrafast charge transfer process using a heterodyne detection scheme. The method enables the simultaneous collection of third- and fifth-order signals, which respectively measure vibrational dynamics occurring on electronic ground and excited states on a femtosecond time scale. Our data collection and analysis strategy allows transient dispersed vibrational echo (t-DVE) and dispersed pump-probe (t-DPP) spectra to be extracted as a function of electronic and vibrational population periods with high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N > 25). We discuss how fifth-order experiments can measure (i) time-dependent anharmonic vibrational couplings, (ii) nonequilibrium frequency-frequency correlation functions, (iii) incoherent and coherent vibrational relaxation and transfer dynamics, and (iv) coherent vibrational and electronic (vibronic) coupling as a function of a photochemical reaction.

Abstract
We present a quantum mechanical wave packet treatment of time-resolved femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), or two-dimensional (2D) FSRS, where a vibrational coherence is initiated with an impulsive Raman pump which is subsequently probed by FSRS. It complements the recent classical treatment by Mehlenbacher et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 131, 244512 (2009)]. In this 2D-FSRS, two processes can occur concurrently but with different intensities: a direct fifth-order process taking place on one molecule, and a cascade process comprising two third-order processes on two different molecules. The cascade process comprises a parallel and a sequential cascade. The theory is applied to the 2D-FSRS of CDCl(3) where calculations showed that: (a) the cascade process is stronger than the direct fifth-order process by one order of magnitude, (b) the sidebands assigned to C-Cl E and A(1) bends, observed on both sides of the Stokes C-D stretch frequency, are not due to anharmonic coupling between the C-D stretch and the C-Cl bends, but are instead due to the coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and coherent Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CSRS) fields produced in the first step of the cascade process, (c) for each delay time between the femtosecond impulsive pump and FSRS probe pulses, the line shape of the sidebands shows an inversion symmetry about the C-D stretch frequency, and this is due to the 180(∘) phase difference between the CARS and CSRS fields that produced the left and right sidebands, and (d) for each sideband, the line shape changes from positive Lorentzian to dispersive to negative Lorentzian, then to negative dispersive and back to positive Lorentzian with the period of the bending vibration, and it is correlated with the momentum of the wave packet prepared on the ground-state surface by the impulsive pump along the sideband normal coordinate.

Abstract
The coherent third order optical response of molecular aggregates with fluctuating frequencies, couplings, and transition dipole moments is studied. We derived stochastic nonlinear exciton equations (SNEEs) by combining the quasiparticle picture of excitons with the path integral over stochastic bath paths described by the stochastic Liouville equations. Coherent two-dimensional (2D) spectra are calculated for a tetramer model system whose transition dipole orientations undergo two-state stochastic jumps on an arbitrary timescale. Correspondence between domains of ordered dipoles, which determine the exciton coherence length and the absorption peaks, is established. Signatures of domain coherence length fluctuations are observed in the cross peak dynamics of the 2D spectra in specific pulse polarization configurations.

Abstract
A detailed understanding of chemical processes requires information about both structure and dynamics. By definition, a reaction involves nonstationary states and is a dynamic process. Structure describes the atomic positions at global minima in the nuclear potential energy surface. Dynamics are related to the anharmonicities in this potential that couple different minima and lead to changes in atomic positions (reactions) and correlations. Studies of molecular dynamics can be configured to directly access information on the anharmonic interactions that lead to chemical reactions and are as central to chemistry as structural information. In this regard, nonlinear spectroscopies have distinct advantages over more conventional linear spectroscopies. Because of this potential, nonlinear spectroscopies could eventually attain a comparable level of importance for studying dynamics on the relevant time scales to barrier crossings and reactive processes as NMR has for determining structure. Despite this potential, nonlinear spectroscopy has not attained the same degree of utility as linear spectroscopy largely because nonlinear studies are more technically challenging. For example, unlike the linear spectrometers that exist in almost all chemistry departments, there are no "black box" four-wave mixing spectrometers. This Account describes recent advances in the application of diffractive optics (DOs) to nonlinear spectroscopy, which reduces the complexity level of this technology to be closer to that of linear spectroscopy. The combination of recent advances in femtosecond laser technology and this single optic approach could bring this form of spectroscopy out of the exclusive realm of specialists and into the general user community. However, the real driving force for this research is the pursuit of higher sensitivity limits, which would enable new forms of nonlinear spectroscopy. This Account chronicles the research that has now extended nonlinear spectroscopy to six-wave processes and to a completely generalized "nu-wave" mixing form to fully control state preparation and coherences. For example, direct observation of global protein motions and energetics has led to the collective mode coupling model to understand structure-function correlations in biological systems. Direct studies of the hydrogen bond network of liquid H(2)O have recently shown that both intramolecular and intermolecular degrees of freedom are strongly coupled so that the primary excitations of water have an excitonic-like character. This fundamentally different view of liquid water has now resolved a 100-year-old problem of homogeneous versus inhomogeneous broadening of the vibrational line shapes. By adding programmable pulse shaping, we can access new information about the many-body interactions directly relevant to chemical reaction dynamics. We can also steer the course of the reaction along multidimensional surfaces to provide information about fluctuations far from the equilibrium, which are most relevant to chemical reactivity.

Abstract
Spectral line shapes in a condensed phase contain information from various dynamic processes that modulate the transition energy, such as microscopic dynamics, inter- and intramolecular couplings, and solvent dynamics. Because nonlinear response functions are sensitive to the complex dynamics of chemical processes, multidimensional vibrational spectroscopies can separate these processes. In multidimensional vibrational spectroscopy, the nonlinear response functions of a molecular dipole or polarizability are measured using ultrashort pulses to monitor inter- and intramolecular vibrational motions. Because a complex profile of such signals depends on the many dynamic and structural aspects of a molecular system, researchers would like to have a theoretical understanding of these phenomena. In this Account, we explore and describe the roles of different physical phenomena that arise from the peculiarities of the system-bath coupling in multidimensional spectra. We also present simple analytical expressions for a weakly coupled multimode Brownian system, which we use to analyze the results obtained by the experiments and simulations. To calculate the nonlinear optical response, researchers commonly use a particular form of a system Hamiltonian fit to the experimental results. The optical responses of molecular vibrational motions have been studied in either an oscillator model or a vibration energy state model. In principle, both models should give the same results as long as the energy states are chosen to be the eigenstates of the oscillator model. The energy state model can provide a simple description of nonlinear optical processes because the diagrammatic Liouville space theory that developed in the electronically resonant spectroscopies can easily handle three or four energy states involved in high-frequency vibrations. However, the energy state model breaks down if we include the thermal excitation and relaxation processes in the dynamics to put the system in a thermal equilibrium state. The roles of these excitation and relaxation processes are different and complicated compared with those in the resonant spectroscopy. Observing the effects of such thermal processes is more intuitive with the oscillator model because the bath modes, which cause the fluctuation and dissipation processes, are also described in the coordinate space. This coordinate space system-bath approach complements a realistic full molecular dynamics simulation approach. By comparing the calculated 2D spectra from the coordinate space model and the energy state model, we can examine the role of thermal processes and anharmonic mode-mode couplings in the energy state model. For this purpose, we employed the Brownian oscillator model with the nonlinear system-bath interaction. Using the hierarchy formalism, we could precisely calculate multidimensional spectra for a single and multimode anharmonic system for inter- and intramolecular vibrational modes.

Abstract
Optical two-dimensional photon-echo spectroscopy is realized with shaped excitation pulses, allowing coherent control of twodimensional spectra. This development enables probing of state-selective quantum decoherence and phase/time sensitive couplings between states. The coherently-controlled two-dimensional photon-echo spectrometer with two pulse shapers is based on a passively stabilized four-beam interferometer with diffractive optic, and allows heterodyne detection of signals with a long-term phase stability of approximately Lambda/100. The two-dimensional spectra of Rhodamine 101 in a methanol solution, measured with unshaped and shaped pulses, exhibit significant differences. We observe in particular, the appearance of fine structure in the spectra obtained using shaped excitation pulses.

Abstract
The fifth order, two-dimensional Raman response in liquid xenon is calculated via a time correlation function (TCF) theory and the numerically exact finite field method. Both employ classical molecular dynamics simulations. The results are shown to be in excellent agreement, suggesting the efficacy of the TCF approach, in which the response function is written approximately in terms of a single classical multitime TCF.

Abstract
The heterodyned fifth-order Raman response of liquid benzene has been measured and characterized by exploiting the passive-phase stabilization of diffractive optics. This result builds on our previous work with liquid carbon disulfide and extends the spectroscopy to a new liquid for the first time. The all-parallel and Dutch Cross polarization tensor elements are presented for both the experimental results and a finite-field molecular dynamics simulation. The overall response characteristics are similar to those of liquid carbon disulfide: a complete lack of signal along the pump delay, an elongated signal along the probe delay, and a short-lived signal along the time diagonal. Of particular interest is the change in phase between the nuclear and electronic response along the probe delay and diagonal which is not seen in CS2. Good agreement is achieved between the experiment and the finite-field molecular dynamics simulation. The measurement of the low-frequency Raman two-time delay correlation function indicates the intermolecular modes of liquid benzene to be primarily homogeneously broadened and that the liquid loses its nuclear rephasing ability within 300 fs. This rapid loss of nuclear correlations indicates a lack of modal character in the low-frequency motions of liquid benzene. This result is a validation of the general nature of the technique and represents an important step forward with respect to the use of nonlinear spectroscopy to directly access information on the anharmonic motions of liquids.

Abstract
Electric fields of coherent Raman signals are resolved with sensitivity for high-frequency vibrational resonances utilizing a four-pulse, trapezoidal beam geometry in a diffractive optic-based interferometer. Our experiments show that the heterodyne detected signal phase is stabilized for particular terms in the third-order response function by the cancellation of inter-pulse phases. The C-H stretching modes of cyclohexane and benzene are studied under two polarization conditions. The temporal profiles of signal fields for cyclohexane exhibit a low-frequency recurrence due to the interference between the signals associated with the symmetric and asymmetric C-H stretching modes. In contrast, the electronically nonresonant polarizability response of benzene gives rise to a significant broadband signal component in addition to that associated with its C-H vibrational resonance. Time-frequency shapes of the Raman signal fields are strongly dependent on the properties of the liquid and the polarizations of the laser pulses.

Abstract
Starting from a system-bath Hamiltonian in a molecular coordinate representation, we examine an applicability of a stochastic multilevel model for vibrational dephasing and energy relaxation in multidimensional infrared spectroscopy. We consider an intramolecular anharmonic mode nonlinearly coupled to a colored noise bath at finite temperature. The system-bath interaction is assumed linear plus square in the system coordinate, but linear in the bath coordinates. The square-linear system-bath interaction leads to dephasing due to the frequency fluctuation of system vibration, while the linear-linear interaction contributes to energy relaxation and a part of dephasing arises from anharmonicity. To clarify the role and origin of vibrational dephasing and energy relaxation in the stochastic model, the system part is then transformed into an energy eigenstate representation without using the rotating wave approximation. Two-dimensional (2D) infrared spectra are then calculated by solving a low-temperature corrected quantum Fokker-Planck (LTC-QFP) equation for a colored noise bath and by the stochastic theory. In motional narrowing regime, the spectra from the stochastic model are quite different from those from the LTC-QFP. In spectral diffusion regime, however, the 2D line shapes from the stochastic model resemble those from the LTC-QFP besides the blueshifts caused by the dissipation from the colored noise bath. The preconditions for validity of the stochastic theory for molecular vibrational motion are also discussed.

Abstract
The fifth-order two-dimensional (2D) Raman signals have been calculated from the equilibrium and nonequilibrium (finite field) molecular dynamics simulations. The equilibrium method evaluates response functions with equilibrium trajectories, while the nonequilibrium method calculates a molecular polarizability from nonequilibrium trajectories for different pulse configurations and sequences. In this paper, we introduce an efficient algorithm which hybridizes the existing two methods to avoid the time-consuming calculations of the stability matrices which are inherent in the equilibrium method. Using nonequilibrium trajectories for a single laser excitation, we are able to dramatically simplify the sampling process. With this approach, the 2D Raman signals for liquid xenon, carbon disulfide, water, acetonitrile, and formamide are calculated and discussed. Intensities of 2D Raman signals are also estimated and the peak strength of formamide is found to be only five times smaller than that of carbon disulfide.

Abstract
Electric field-resolved transient grating measurements are used to distinguish the four-wave mixing signal emission from a resonant solute and a non-resonant solvent. The two components of the solution (i.e., solute and solvent) emit signal fields at different times with respect to the arrival of the probe pulse to the sample. This gives rise to a recurrence in the temporal profile of the total signal field. We show that the origin of this interference is the difference in relaxation time scales of the holographic gratings associated with the solute and solvent. The grating of the resonant solute relaxes on the time scale of a few picoseconds due to depopulation of its excited electronic state, whereas the electronic polarizability response of the solvent relaxes on the femtosecond time scale. This separability of responses is a general phenomenon that is particularly useful for studying weakly absorbing solute dynamics in polarizable solvents.

Abstract
Using the nonperturbative approach to the calculation of nonlinear optical spectra developed in a foregoing paper [Mancal et al., J. Chem. Phys. 124, 234504 (2006), preceding paper], calculations of two-dimensional electronic spectra of an excitonically coupled dimer model system are presented. The dissipative exciton transfer dynamics is treated within the Redfield theory and energetic disorder within the molecular ensemble is taken into account. The manner in which the two-dimensional spectra reveal electronic couplings in the aggregate system and the evolution of the spectra in time is studied in detail. Changes in the intensity and shape of the peaks in the two-dimensional relaxation spectra are related to the coherent and dissipative dynamics of the system. It is shown that coherent electronic motion, an electronic analog of a vibrational wave packet, can manifest itself in two-dimensional optical spectra of molecular aggregate systems as a periodic modulation of both the diagonal and off-diagonal peaks.
