通过使用含时量子波包方法,对HF分子该类型的布居转移动力学进行了研究. 提出双Σ型激光控制方案,用于控制布居从|v=16>能级向|v=0>能级进行转移. 该方案的第一步是将布居从|v=16>经过中间能级|v=11>向|v=7>转移,第二步是将布居从|v=7>经过中间能级|v=3>向|v=0>转移. 在每一个步骤中,三个振动能级在两束重叠的激光脉冲作用下形成一个Σ型的布居转移路径. 通过优化激光的强度、频率和延迟时间,得到了最大的布居转移效率. 计算并比较了正序脉冲和反序脉冲两种情况,在这两种情况下,布居都可以超过90%从|v=16>能级向|v=0>能级进行转移.

Effect of Carried-Envelope Phase on Transient Process in a Cascade-Type System

This paper investigates the effect of carried-envelope phase on transient process in a cascade-type atomic system, which is driven by two ultrashort laser pulses （probe and signal laser）. It is found that the one- and two-photon processes corresponding to pathway ｜0〉→｜1〉and ｜0〉→｜1〉→｜2〉 can be enhanced or ,suppressed by modulating the carried-envelope phases of probe laser pulse. Our numerical results also show that the transient populations of two excited states can be periodically affected by the carried-envelope phase of probe laser pulse. With certain time, the partial population transfer between two exited states can be realized just by adjusting the carried-envelope phase of probe laser pulse.     

Optical control of the quantum-state distribution of vibrational wave packets using trains of phase-locked pulses

An intuitive scheme for controlling the quantum state composition of one-coordinate molecular wave packets is developed. The accumulated phase difference between the various components of the molecular wave packet is determined, and then a sequence of phase-locked optical pulses is employed to selectively enhance or depopulate specific vibrational states, or sets of vibrational states. The quantum state composition of the resulting wave packet, and the efficiency of the control scheme, is determined by calculating the multi-pulse response of the time-dependent vibrational state populations.     

Photoassociation reaction of OH molecules through reverse ladder transition

Photoassociation via reverse ladder transition controlled by two and four laser pulses is investigated using the time-dependent quantum wave packet method. The calculated results show that the amplitudes of the pulses have an enormous effect on the target population and total yield of association. For the target state with a high energy level, the population of background states can reduce the state-selectivity. Although, the total yield of association is decreased, the four pulses can induce the population transferring to low vibrational levels, and the state-selectivity of the target state is high.     

Efficient population transfer by delayed pulses despite coupling ambiguity

In traditional schemes of multilevel multilaser excitation, each laser pulse interacts with only one pair of states, and the rotating wave approximation (RWA) is applicable. Here we study the population transfer process in a three-state system when each of the two lasers interacts with each of the pair of states and when the Rabi frequencies characterizing the interaction strengths of the system are comparable to or larger than the difference of the transition frequencies. We show that complete and robust population transfer is possible under conditions more general than those hitherto considered necessary for stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) or for successive π pulses. Using adiabatic Floquet theory we show that successful population transfer can be interpreted as adiabatic passage by means of a transfer state which connects the initial and final states. The Floquet picture offers a convenient interpretation of the population transfer as accompanied by multiple absorption of photons from or emission into the laser fields.     

Quantum Dynamics of a Single Trapped Ion Interacting with Standing Laser Pulses

A classically chaotic system consisting of a Paul trapped ion and a sequences of standing laser pulses is treated quantum-mechanically. Under the circumstance of time-dependence, we derive the transition probability from the ion‘s motional state n to n‘, and find, in the first-order approximation, the classically chaotic character disappears.Theoretical analysis and numerical calculations show that by regulating the phase parameter Ф we can control thetransition probability. When Ф reaches some specific values, the transition from the state n to n‘ is forbidden and, for some laser periods, resonance occurs, which leads to the corresponding transitions between different motional states.The time-evolution of an initial motional state |ψz) just over one period is also studied in detail.     

Triggering of nuclear isomers by X-ray laser

We studied the decay of nuclear isomeric states in the field of the X-ray laser. The laser pulses are described by the Gaussian wave packet of linearly polarized electromagnetic waves. At first stage the laser short pulse generates nuclear transition in the intermediate excited state, which afterwards decays into the final state with emission of γ quantum. Simple formulas are derived for the induced transition probability, which well correlate with known results, obtained previously for the incoherent X-ray radiation.     

Optical control of the rotational angular momentum of a molecular Rydberg wave packet

An intuitive scheme for controlling the rotational quantum state of a Rydberg molecule is demonstrated experimentally. We determine the accumulated phase difference between the various components of a molecular electron wave packet, and then employ a sequence of phase-locked optical pulses to selectively enhance or depopulate specific rotational states. The angular momentum composition of the resulting wave packet, and the efficiency of the control scheme, is determined by calculating the multipulse response of the time-dependent Rydberg populations.     

Piecewise adiabatic population transfer in a molecule via a wave packet

We propose a class of schemes for robust population transfer between quantum states that utilize trains of coherent pulses, thus forming a generalized adiabatic passage via a wave packet. We study piecewise stimulated Raman adiabatic passage with pulse-to-pulse amplitude variation, and piecewise chirped Raman passage with pulse-to-pulse phase variation, implemented with an optical frequency comb. In the context of production of ultracold ground-state molecules, we show that with almost no knowledge of the excited potential, robust high-efficiency transfer is possible.
