Coherent control of atomic excitation using off-resonant strong few-cycle pulses

Abstract

We study the dynamics of a two-level system driven by an off-resonant few-cycle pulse which has a phase jump $\varphi$ at $t=t_0$, in contrast to many cycle pulses, under non rotating-wave approximation (NRWA). We give a closed form analytical solution for the evolution of the probability amplitude $|C_a(t)|$ for the upper level. Using the appropriate pulse parameters like phase-jump $\varphi$, jump time $t_0$, pulse width $\tau$, frequency $\nu$ and Rabi frequency ${\Omega }_0$ the population transfer, after the pulse is gone, can be optimized and for the pulse considered here, enhancement of $10^6-10^8$ factor was obtained.
