Pump-probe and n-wave-mixing experiments are important in order to reveal information about microscopic coupling mechanisms and structural/dynamical relationships. Varying the time delay between the incident pulses and recording the real time dynamics makes the technique inherently two-dimensional. It has been demonstrated in the THz regime [1] that with the combination of a collinear beam setup and electro-optical sampling all orders of n-wave-mixing can be observed at the same time. We have developed a theoretical model for a corresponding nonlinear two-dimensional spectroscopy. We numerically solve the equations of motions within a density-matrix approach, focusing on the influence of the electron-phonon interaction [2] on the nonlinear dynamics. Our investigations are performed on GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells and show good agreement to experimental findings.
