Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy provides information on coupling and energy transfer between excited states on ultrafast timescales. Only recently, incoherent fluorescence detection has made it possible to combine this method with single-molecule optical spectroscopy to reach the ultimate limit of sensitivity. The main obstacle has been the low number of photons detected due to limited photostability. Here we discuss the key experimental choices that allowed us to overcome these obstacles: broadband acousto-optic modulation, accurate phase-locked loops, photon-counting lock-in detection, delay stage linearization, and detector dead-time compensation. We demonstrate how the acquired photon stream data can be used to post-select detection events according to specific criteria.
