Optical pulse shaping approaches to coherent control

摘要: Abstract The last part of the twentieth century has experienced a huge resurge activity in field coherent light–matter interaction, more so attempting to exert control over such interactions. Birth was originally spurred by theoretical understanding quantum interferences that lead energy randomization and experimental developments ultrafast laser spectroscopy. predictions on reaction channels or processes are still dramatic than demonstrations, though this gap between two is consistently reducing recent years with realistic models technological developments. Experimental demonstrations arbitrary optical pulse shaping have made some previously impracticable possible implement. Starting simple modulation schemes provide proof-of-the-principle feedback loop systems been developed can actively manipulate atomic molecular processes. This tremendous boost prospects implications into many new directions, as computing terabit/sec data communications. review captures certain aspects impacts fast developing areas other related fields. Currently available reviews focus one detailed control, reader will be referred details when necessary for issues dealt brief here. We current including intramolecular dynamics make connections future concepts, as, computation, biomedical applications, etc.
