In this work, an ultrafast spectral diffusion of the lowest exciton in a tetracene ultrathin film is studied by two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy. From the analysis of the nodal line slope, the frequency-fluctuation correlation function (FFCF) of the exciton band is extracted. The FFCF contains two components with decay times of 400 and 80 fs; while the former can be understood by a linear exciton-phonon coupling model, the latter shows an order of magnitude increase in its amplitude from 96 to 186 K that cannot be explained by the same model. A novel scheme of the energy-gap fluctuations is examined, in which an intramolecular high-frequency mode causes the spectral diffusion that is enhanced through an anharmonic coupling to low-frequency phonon modes. This finding provides a valuable input for future theoretical predictions on the ultrafast nonadiabatic dynamics of the molecular exciton.
