Coherent control of molecular systems using pulse shaper
Controlling chemical reactions using pulse shaper:
​
In recent years coherent control has earned high scientific interest as it has applications far beyond chemistry (high harmonic generation etc.). In the case of manipulating chemical reactions, the question arises whether certain chemical products can be generated with high efficiency simultaneously reducing unwanted side products. Pulse shaping aids most to explore such controlling events. It is an important technology used as an experimental tool with computer controlled feedback (adaptive) algorithm to generate preferred (tailored) laser pulses in femtoseconds time scale.
Can we coherently control different molecular systems in condensed phase in both the high (strong field) and low (weak field) intensity regimes using externally controlled pulse shaper (Dazzler) combined with our pump-probe or 2DES setup?
