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

本计画的重点是借由雷射与分子相互作用所产生的相干效应，来控制分子的运动与量子态的特性。此外，这些效应在光解离动力学的应用将通过使用增强的状态选择性水平，以及创建相干叠加的量子态的可能性，以开发可能的键断裂控制机制的目的进行研究。具体的实验包括使用Autler-Townes分裂，修改的单线态与三线态字符的修饰分子波函数，测量的过渡偶极矩使用电磁诱导的透明度和最后控制的光解离和键断裂动力学的对齐。从更广泛的意义上说，该项目将为少数民族学生提供研究机会，并为本科生创造工业机会。

This project focuses on achieving control of molecular motion and quantum state character through coherence effects inherent in the laser molecule interaction. In addition, applications of these effects in photodissociation dynamics will be investigated by using both the enhanced level of state selectivity as well as the possibility of creating coherent superpositions of quantum states for the purpose of developing possible bond breaking control mechanisms. Specific experiments include alignment using the Autler-Townes splitting, modification of the singlet vs triplet character of a dressed molecular wavefunction, measurement of the transition dipole moments using electomagnetically induced transparency and finally control of photodissociation and bond breaking dynamics. In a broader sense, the project will provide research opportunities for minority students as well as create opportunities in industry for the undergraduate students.
