Selective excitation of electronic states in K₂ — •Hendrike Braun¹, Dominik Pengel², Cristian Sarpe¹, Matthias Wollenhaupt², and Thomas Baumert¹ — ¹Universität Kassel, Institut für Physik und CINSaT, D-34132 Kassel, Germany — ²Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Institut für Physik, 26129 Oldenburg, Germany

Recently we reported on the selective excitation of K₂ using spectrally phase-shaped femtosecond laserpulses [1]. Here we present data about the controlled excitation of the same molecule by optimized double pulse sequences [2]. In addition first experimental evidence shows that femtosecond laserpulses that are shaped with spectral phases consisting of second and third order polynomial modulation [3] offer a high degree of control over the populations in selected electronic states of the potassium dimer. A detailed analysis of quantum dynamic simulations reveals different mechanisms at play.
