Quantum control of molecular motion and multiphoton processes in I2by use of ultrashort chirped pulses Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Ultrashort chirped pulses were used to control the focusing of molecular wave packets and multiphoton processes in I2. Both negatively and positively chirped pulses excite oscillatory wave-packet motion on the B-state that induces laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) from an ion-pair state. The agreement between experimental and theoretical results suggest that the spreading of the molecular wave packet on the anharmonic B-state potential can be controlled by adjusting the phase of the excitation pulse.
