Chirped pulse enhancement of multiphoton absorption in molecular iodine Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Chirp effects on three photon absorption yields in I2 vapor are investigated using femtosecond pulses with center wavelengths in the region 550-600 nm. Enhancements of as much as a factor of 3 are observed for chirped pulses with respect 10 transform-limited, zero chirp pulses. Theoretical considerations and model calculations suggest that wave packet dynamics play an important role. 1998 American Institute of Physics.
