Abstract

The influence of the amplitude ratio between the two THz pulses on two-dimension THz spectroscopy (2DTS) has been studied theoretically via a classical method in which the expressions for the second-order nonlinearity were derived using perturbation approach, and the THz pulses were not treated as a delta function. Three types of nonlinear sources i.e., anharmonicity, nonlinear damping, and nonlinear coupling, are considered in a single mode system. The simulation results demonstrated that the amplitude ratio had a notable influence on the 2DTSs, and different sources have different influences. This study is promising for guiding future experiments.
