Abstract
The study and manipulation of low dipole moment quantum states have been challenging due to their inaccessibility by conventional spectroscopic techniques. Controlling the spin in such states requires unfeasible strong magnetic fields to overcome typical decoherence rates.
However, the advent of terahertz technology and its application in magnetic pulses opens up a new scenario. In this article, we focus on an electron-hole pair model to demonstrate that it is possible to control the precession of the spins and to modify the transition rates to different spin states.
Enhancing transitions from a bright state to a dark state with different spins means that the latter can be revealed by ordinary spectroscopy. We propose a modification of the standard two-dimensional spectroscopic scheme in which a three pulse sequence is encased in a magnetic pulse.
Its role is to drive transitions between a bright and a dark spin state, making the latter susceptible to spectroscopic investigation. Published under license by AIP Publishing.
