Series of ultrashort infrared laser pulses with analytical shapes for selective vibrational excitations. Model simulations for OH(ν=0)→OH(ν=10)

Laser Control of Ultrafast State-Selective Preparation of OH at High Vibrational Levels

“…This confirms the results of previous investigations, [29][30][31] where the bound-continuum transitions were not taken into account.…”

State-Selective Control for Dissipative Vibrational Dynamics of HOD by Shaped Ultrashort Infrared Laser Pulses

“…9,10 The theoretical approaches to the problem may be classified, in general, as (1) weak-field control with continuous wave (CW) laser fields 8,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and (2) control by tailored laser pulses, 22-41 which often requires strong-field control schemes with ultrashort laser pulses and explicitly determined laser-molecule time-dependent interactions. [42][43][44][45] Several approaches, for example the coherent control scheme, [19][20][21] adiabatic passage control scheme, [32][33][34][35] and wave-packet focusing on electronic surfaces, [38][39][40][41] have been already investigated theoretically and realized experimentally. 32,33,41,[46][47][48][49] An important line in the field of the laser control of molecular dynamics is selective manipulation of populations, in particular, localization of population at a prescribed energy level of a molecule, or the population transfer.…”

Selective generation and control of excited vibrational wave packets in the electronic ground state of K2

“…Both approaches, the energy selective and the time selective, have been treated theoretically in great detail for diatomic molecules as well as for more complex systems. [1][2][3] Reviews and comprehensive presentations of recent developments in related theory and experiments are collected in Refs. 4-11. The state selective method of Manz and Paramonov 1,2 describes a stepwise population transfer from the reactant ground state to the target state by a series of picosecond or subpicosecond infrared ͑IR͒ pulses of simple shape.…”
