Popis: The nonlinear polaronic response of electrons solvated in liquid 2-propanol is studied by two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy. Solvated electrons with a concentration of c$_e \approx$ 800 $\mu$M are generated by femtosecond photoionization of alcohol molecules. Electron relaxation to a localized ground state impulsively excites coherent polaron oscillations with a frequency of 3.9 THz. Off-resonant perturbation of the THz coherence by a pulse centered at 1.5 THz modifies the polaron oscillation phase. This nonlinear change of electron polarizability is reproduced by theoretical calculations.
