Inherently phase-stable coherent two-dimensional spectroscopy using only conventional optics.

We introduce an inherently phase-stable setup for coherent two-dimensional femtosecond spectroscopy in noncollinear box geometry using only conventional beam splitters, mirrors, and delay stages. Avoiding diffractive optics, pulse shapers, and active phase-locking loops, our spectroscopy setup is simple, robust, and works for ultrabroad bandwidths in all spectral regimes (infrared, visible, and ultraviolet).
