Davydov Ansatz as an efficient tool for the simulation of nonlinear optical response of molecular aggregates

Abstract: We have developed a variational approach to the description of four-wave-mixing signals of molecular aggregates, in which the third-order response functions are evaluated in terms of the Davydov Ansätze. Our theory treats both singly and doubly excited excitonic states, handling the contributions due to stimulated emission, ground state bleach, and excited state absorption. As an illustration, we simulate a series of optical two-dimensional spectra of model J-aggregates. Our approach may become suitable for th… Show more

“…In Refs. [46,39,63,42,43] it was assumed that the phonons couple to each site non-locally. Therefore, the site energy fluctuations were totally correlated, and no incoherent energy transfer was possible.…”

“…The initial state of the system is assumed to be the electronic ground state |S 0 (|g ) with the relevant vibrational ground state |0 ph , i.e., |Ψ 0 = |S 0 |0 ph . The time-dependent wavefunction of the excited-state manifold reads 8,[52][53][54] Ψ e(f )…”

“…The details of the derivation are shown in Appendix B. Due to the high efficiency of the D 1 Ansatz method, we can easily perform the calculation of 2D spectra even in the presence of diagonal (off-diagonal) disorder [74,75]. A secondary, low-frequency thermal bath that accounts for solvent effects and protein motion is included by means of an overdamped brownian oscillator model [12,[76][77][78].…”
