Phase-cycling schemes for pump-probe beam geometry two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy

► Theoretical explanation and Experimental demonstration of phase cycling schemes for 2D pump probe spectroscopy. ► 1 × 2 Phase cycling recovers both rephasing and nonrephasing 2D spectra under certain experimental situations. ► 1 × 3 Phase cycling recovers all 2D spectra that has been shown hitherto to be only obtained with a 1 × 4 phase cycling scheme. ► Experimental studies performed with excellent agreement with theory.
