We study strong field molecular ionization using few- (four to ten) cycle laser pulses. Employing a supercontinuum light source, we are able to tune the optical laser wavelength (photon energy) over a range of about $\sim$200 nm (500 meV).…

Nonstationary molecular states which contain electronic coherences can be impulsively created and manipulated by using recently-developed ultrashort optical and X-ray pulses via photoexcitation, photoionization and Auger processes. We…
