Laser Control of Molecular Motion and Quantum State Character Through Coherence Effects

该提案为购买组合激光放大器系统提供资金，该系统将允许PI通过激光分子相互作用中固有的相干效应来增强其在分子运动和量子态特征控制领域的活动。 这种控制是通过利用简单分子中的Autler Townes分裂和电磁诱导透明来实现的。 如果成功的话，使用这些相干效应的量子控制将补充通过超快激光系统实现的控制。

This proposal provides funds for the purchase of a combination laser-amplifier system that would allow the PI to enhance her activities in the area of control of molecular motion and quantum state character through coherence effects inherent in the laser-molecule interaction. This control is achieved through the exploitation of the Autler Townes splitting and electromagnetically induced transparency in simple molecules. If successful, quantum control using these coherence effects would complement control achieved through ultrafast laser systems.
