In high-performance solar cells based on polymeric semiconductors, the
mechanism of photocarrier generation on
-fs timescales is yet to be
unravelled. In particular the dynamics of early-time electronic coupling
between excitons on polymer chains and charge-transfer states need to be
investigated in order to develop a detailed picture of ultrafast processes
involved in photocurrent

measurements using a novel spectroscopy that can measure such correlations:
two-dimensional coherent photocurrent excitation spectroscopy. This nonlinear
technique measures off-diagonal spectral correlations in a two-dimensional
photocurrent excitation spectrum. We interpret these sectroscopic measurements
in light of recent theoretical predictions.
