Third-order spectroscopy such as transient absorption (TA) is often used to investigate the dynamics of single-exciton states. The measurement of higher orders provides information on the interactions of an increasing number of excitons and their dynamics. We recently showed how nonlinear orders can be separated using intensity cycling [1]. Here, we study multi-exciton interaction in a related but structurally different chemical system, a chiral squaraine homopolymer. We use intensity-dependent TA to separate odd orders of nonlinear response. In addition, we employ fluorescence-detected two-dimensional spectroscopy. In that case, we extract the even orders by phase cycling and compare the two approaches.
