Our research centers upon measuring and controlling dynamics in atomic
and molecular systems using shaped ultrafast laser pulses.
Some of the questions we are trying to address are whether it is
possible to gain physical insight from closed loop learning control
experiments, how does molecular alignment affect control, and the
interplay of
dynamic resonances and strong field control in both atomic and
molecular
systems.
The experiments:
- Using dynamic resonances to view molecular wave
packets
- Coherence spectroscopy in atoms and molecules
- Generation and compression of ultrafast pulses in
different wavelength regions
