Ultra-short strong excitation of two-level systems

PK Jha, H Eleuch, F Grazioso - Optics Communications, 2014 - Elsevier
We present a model describing the use of ultra-short strong pulses to control the population

Selective ultrafast control of multi-level quantum systems by subcycle and unipolar pulses

R Arkhipov, A Pakhomov, M Arkhipov, A Demircan… - Optics …, 2020 - opg.optica.org
The most typical way to optically control population of atomic and molecular systems is to
illuminate them with radiation, resonant to the relevant transitions. Here we consider a …

Coherent quantum control of multiphoton transitions by shaped ultrashort optical pulses

D Meshulach, Y Silberberg - Physical Review A, 1999 - APS
Multiphoton transitions can be reached by many routes through a continuum of virtual levels.
We show that the transition probability of two-photon and multiphoton processes can be …
