Control of photodissociation with the dynamic Stark effect induced by THz pulses
A.L. Tóth, András Csehi, Gábor J. Halász, Ágnes Vibók
Abstract
The authors demonstrate how dynamic Stark control can be achieved on molecular photodissociation in the dipole limit, using single-cycle laser pulses in the terahertz regime. The interplay between the dissociating wave packet of a rotating-vibrating molecule and the dynamically fluctuating potential crossing seam is analyzed and discussed.
