Optical nonlinear response function with linear and diagonal quadratic electron-vibration coupling in mixed quantum-classical systems

Abstract

While an optical linear response function of linearly and quadratically coupled mixed quantum-classical condensed-phase systems was derived by Toutounji [J. Chem. Phys. 121, 2228 (2004)], the corresponding analytical optical line shape is derived. The respective nonlinear correlation functions are also derived. Model calculations involving photon-echo, pump-probe, and hole-burning signals of model systems with both linear and quadratic coupling are provided. Hole-burning formula of Hayes-Small is compared to that of Mukamel in mixed quantum-classical systems.
