Single molecules are important players in quantum optics. Their coherence is of uttermost importance, since it influences the usage in quantum information processing, such as in quantum networking applications. We implement a pump-probe experiment in a Ramsey-type pulse sequence on a single 2.3,8.9-dibenzanthanthrene (DBATT) molecule to measure the optical coherence time and compare it with conventional methods [1]. The molecule is selected microscopically and spectroscopically at T=1.4 K. We also perform frequency-detuned excitation, gaining richer insights into the dephasing behavior of the molecule. The experiments exhibit that optical Ramsey spectroscopy is a promising tool for measuring the emitter’s coherence properties.
