Two-dimensional (2D) fluorescence-excitation (2D-FLEX) spectroscopy is a recently proposed nonlinear femtosecond technique for the detection of photoinduced dynamics. The method records time-resolved fluorescence signal in its excitation- and detection-frequency dependence hence combines exclusive excited state dynamics (fluorescence) with signals resolved both excitation emission frequencies (2D electronic spectroscopy). In this work, we develop an on-the-fly protocol simulation 2D-FLEX spectra molecular systems, which based on interfacing classical doorway-window representation spectroscopic responses trajectory surface hopping simulations. Applying methodology to gas-phase pyrazine, show that can deliver detailed information otherwise obtainable via attosecond spectroscopy.

Conical intersections (CIs) are the most efficient channels of photodeactivation and energy transfer, while femtosecond spectroscopy is main experimental tool delivering information on molecular CI-driven photoinduced processes. In this work, we undertake a comprehensive ab initio investigation CI-mediated internal conversion in fulvene by simulating evolutions electronic populations, bond lengths angles, time-resolved transient absorption (TA) pump-probe (PP) spectra. TA PP spectra evaluated fly combining symmetrical quasiclassical/Meyer–Miller–Stock–Thoss (SQC/MMST) dynamics doorway-window representation spectroscopic signals. We show that simulated reveal not only population but also key nuclear motions as well mode–mode couplings. demonstrate signals observables: They can be considered information-rich purely theoretical observables, which deliver more than conventional populations.

Interferenceless perfect absorption holds significant promise for applications in photodetection, photovoltaics, and medical diagnostics. In this study, an effective composite metamaterial with nanoscale thickness, composed of hexagonal Boron nitride ( h BN) lithium fluoride (LiF) layers is presented. Using medium approximation theory, the proposed design achieves broadband interferenceless absorption, independent polarization, either transverse magnetic or electric. The structure employs a noninterferometric approach, enabling near‐zero reflectance over wide incident angle (). Notably, by adjusting relative layer thicknesses, BN–LiF offers substantial control its characteristics. frequency can be blue‐shifted increasing BN thickness red‐shifted LiF thickness. This flexible tunability makes ideal candidate infrared sensing, other light‐manipulation technologies.

Most of spectroscopic signals are specified by the nonlinear laser-induced polarization. In recent years, population-detection becomes a trend in femtosecond spectroscopy. Polarization-detected (PD) and population-detected fundamentally different, because they determined photoinduced processes acting on disparate time scales. this work, we consider fluorescence-detected (FD) N-wave-mixing (NWM) signal as representative example signals, derive rigorous expression for signal, discuss its approximate variants suitable numerical simulations. This leads us to definition phenomenological FD (PFD) which contains special case all definitions available literature. Then formulate prove population-polarization equivalence (PPE) theorem, states that PFD NWM produced (possibly strong) laser pulses can be evaluated conventional PD effective polarization is transition dipole moment operator. We use PPE theorem construction ab initio protocol simulation 4WM signals. As an example, calculate electronic two-dimensional (2D) spectra gas-phase pyrazine compare them with corresponding 2D spectra.
