11:36 B15.002 Experimental Implementation of Frequency Domain 2D Doubly Vibrationally Enhanced Four Wave Mixing Spectroscopy- The Optical Analogue to 2D NMR

John Wright (University of Wisconsin- MadisonIn this paper, we describe the development of doubly vibrationally enhanced four wave mixing spectroscopy (DOVE-FWM) and we show that it is the optical analogue to two dimensional nmr for vibrational spectroscopy. Two infrared lasers excite separate vibrational coherences in molecular samples and if there are inter- or intramolecular interactions that couple the excited modes, cross-peaks appear in the two dimensional spectra. We demonstrate the ability of this method to narrow inhomogeneously broadened lines, remove spectral congestion, selectively enhance contributions from specific isotopic components in mixtures, establish relationships between modes, and reject contributions from strong solvent backgrounds. We show there are no cross-peaks in the 2D spectra when interactions are not present. The spectra contain contributions from two processes which we call DOVE-IRFWM and DOVE-Raman-FWM. DOVE-IRFWM involves excitation of two vibrational coherences by direct infrared absorption. DOVE-Raman-FWM involves excitation of a vibrationally enhanced Raman process. The spectra also contain a background FWM from nonresonant electronic processes that limit the sensitivity of the method. This method is complementary to 2D nmr. NMR spectra reflect the ensemble average of a sample over the millisecond dephasing times of spin coherences while DOVE-FWM spectra reflect a more instantaneous snap-shot over the picosecond dephasing times of vibrational coherences.)
