Vibrationally-induced electronic population inversion with strong femtosecond pulses
Pablo Sampedro, Bo Y. Chang, Ignacio R. Sola
We discover a new mechanism of electronic population inversion using strong femtosecond pulses, where the transfer is mediated by vibrational motion on a light-induced potential. T…
Lighting the Landscape: Molecular Events Under Dynamic Stark Shifts
Bo Y. Chang, Ignacio R. Sola, Seokmin Shin
A new perspective on how to manipulate molecules by means of very strong laser pulses is emerging with insights from the so-called light-induced potentials, which are the adiabatic…
Protecting and accelerating adiabatic passage with time-delayed pulse sequences
Pablo Sampedro, Bo Y. Chang, Ignacio R. Sola
Using numerical simulations of two-photon electronic absorption with femtosecond pulses in Na we show that: i) it is possible to avoid the characteristic saturation or dumped R…
Engineering the initial state in broadband population inversion
Bo Y. Chang, Sheokmin Shin, Ignacio R. Sola
Quantum systems with sublevel structures prevent full population inversion from one manifold of sublevels to the other using strong ultrafast resonant pulses. In this work we expla…
