Title: Coherent two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscopy using a 25 Tesla resistive magnet

Abstract

We performed nonlinear optical two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscopy measurements using an optical resistive high-field magnet on GaAs quantum wells. Magnetic fields up to 25 T can be achieved using the split helix resistive magnet. Two-dimensional spectroscopy measurements based on the coherent four-wave mixing signal require phase stability. Therefore, these measurements are difficult to perform in environments prone to mechanical vibrations. Large resistive magnets use extensive quantities of cooling water, which causes mechanical vibrations, making two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscopy very challenging. Here, we report on the strategies we used to overcome these challenges and maintain the required phase-stability throughout the measurement. A self-contained portable platform was used to set up the experiments within the time frame provided by a user facility. Furthermore, this platform was floated above the optical table in order to isolate it from vibrations originating from the resistive magnet. Finally, we present two-dimensional Fourier transform spectra obtained from GaAs quantum wells at magnetic fields up to 25 T and demonstrate the utility of this technique in providing important details, which are obscured in one dimensional spectroscopy.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Schematic of the experimental setup: The three laser beams are provided by the multidimensional optical nonlinear spectrometer (MONSTR). Three beams labeled as A, B, and C, where A corresponds to the phase conjugate beam, are separated by the time delays τ and T, and are used to generatemore » the FWM signal. The beams are aligned in the three corners of a square. The FWM signal generated at the sample propagates along the missing corner (direction −$\vec{k}_a$ + $\vec{k_b}$ + $\vec{k_c}$) of the square and is heterodyne detected using the reference beam (Ref.). The combined FWM and Ref. beam is dispersed into a grating spectrometer and the resulting spectral interferogram is Fourier transformed leading to a two-dimensional spectrum. The samples are kept at 10 Kelvin inside the bore of the resistive 25 T split helix magnet. The magnetic fields up to 25 Tesla are applied perpendicular to the sample surface in Faraday geometry, facilitated by the sample mount.« less
