Abstract
Two-Dimensional Fourier-Transform-Spectroscopy (2DFTS) is a novel method for the experimental investigation of many-body interactions in semiconductor nanostructures [1]. It displays directly the heavy-hole (hh) and light-hole (lh) excitonic transitions in III-V-quantum wells along the main diagonal of a two-dimensional plot which is spanned by the excitation energy −ħωτ and the emission energy ħωτ. In addition, characteristic signatures due to continuum excitations appear as well as mixed peaks in off-diagonal positions resulting from various couplings. Using a one-dimensional tight-binding model which contains the correct selection rules we compute 2DFTS in the coherent χ(3)-limit. By comparing theoretical spectra resulting from different orders in the Coulomb interaction we can clearly identify the influence of the many-particle interaction on the various signatures that are visible in the spectrograms. The distribution of the peak heights, their magnitude, and their lineshape are of particular interest. Co-circularly polarized excitation pulses are considered.
