Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides display a strong excitonic optical response. Additionally encapsulating the monolayer with hexagonal boron nitride allows to reach the limit of a purely homogeneously broadened exciton system. On such a MoSe -based system, ultrafast six-wave mixing spectroscopy is performed and a novel destructive photon echo effect is found. This process manifests as a characteristic depression of the nonlinear signal dynamics when scanning the delay between the applied laser pulses. By theoretically describing the process within a local field model, an excellent agreement with the experiment is reached. An effective Bloch vector representation is developed and thereby it is demonstrated that the destructive photon echo stems from a destructive interference of successive repetitions of the heterodyning experiment.
过渡金属二卤化物单层表现出强烈的激子光学响应。此外,用六方氮化硼包裹单层可以达到纯均匀展宽激子系统的极限。在这样一个基于MoSe的系统上,进行了超快六波混频光谱实验,并发现了一种新型的破坏性光子回波效应。当扫描施加的激光脉冲之间的延迟时,这个过程表现为非线性信号动力学的特征性凹陷。通过在局部场模型中对该过程进行理论描述,与实验结果达成了很好的一致。开发了一种有效的布洛赫矢量表示法,从而证明了破坏性光子回波源于外差实验连续重复的相消干涉。
