A well-established application of two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy is the characterization of energy transfer processes via analyzing of 2D cross-peaks. In transient absorption (TA) measurements, by contrast, signals from 2D off-diagonal and on-diagonal contributions overlap on the detection axis. In a recent paper, Zanni’s group [1] presented a new polarization scheme that suppresses diagonal peaks and makes it possible to investigate cross-peak features with TA spectroscopy. We adapted and applied this polarization scheme to the new method of higher-order TA spectroscopy [2] that separates signals of different orders and thus isolates signals stemming from exciton–exciton interactions (EEI). Through the combination of higher-order TA spectroscopy and polarization control we aim to analyze cross-peak features in fifth-order signals originating from EEI in a squaraine heterodimer.
