Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy (CMDS) encompasses a family of experimental strategies
involving the nonlinear interaction between electric fields and a material under investigation. %

CMDS can be collected in the frequency or the time domain, and each approach has advantages and
disadvantages. %

The MR-CMDS experiment involves tracking the intensity of this output signal as a function of
different properties of the excitation pulses. %

Thus MR-CMDS can be thought of as a multidimensional experimental space, where experiments
typically involve explorations in one to four of the properties above. %
