Coherent Control of Multiphoton Transitions with Femtosecond pulse shaping

Optics 2009-11-07 v1 Atomic Physics Quantum Physics

Abstract

We explore the effects of ultrafast shaped pulses for two-level systems that do not have a single photon resonance by developing a multiphoton density-matrix approach. We take advantage of the fact that the dynamics of the intermediate virtual states are absent within our laser pulse timescales. Under these conditions, the multiphoton results are similar to the single photon and that it is possible to extend the single photon coherent control ideas to develop multiphoton coherent control.
