title: Modeling and correction of distorted two-dimensional Fourier transform spectra from pixelated pulse shaping devices.
abstract: Two-dimensional Fourier transform spectra of a three level model system are simulated using a non-perturbative density matrix formalism. The electric field distortions resultant from using pixelated pulse shaping devices to produce phase-locked pulse pairs are modeled and the effects on the recovered spectra are examined. To minimize spectral distortions, a temporal filtering scheme is employed which eliminates contributions from spurious sample polarizations.
