Weisskopf-Wigner model for wave packet excitation

Quantum Physics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We consider a laser induced molecular excitation process as a decay of a single energy state into a continuum. The analytic results based on Weisskopf-Wigner approach and perturbation calculations are compared with numerical wave packet results. We find that the decay model describes the excitation process well within the expected parameter region.
