Simulating multidimensional optical wave-mixing signals with finite-pulse envelopes

Closed expressions are derived for resonant coherent multidimensional spectra carried out with temporally well-separated pulses. The roles of the pulse carrier frequencies, phases, bandwidths, and envelopes can be readily analyzed. These results are particularly suitable for the design of new pulse sequences and for implementing coherent-control pulse-shaping algorithms for optimizing these signals to meet specific targets.
