✦ Synopsis

In a model system, i.e. the K 2 dimer molecule, a vibrationally excited wave packet around a prechosen target state in the electronic ground state is generated by an ultrafast resonant stimulated Raman process. By choosing the pump and dump wavelengths along the difference potential between the excited electronic jB -state and the electronic ground state jX and optimizing the delay time between the pump and dump processes, one can increase considerably the efficiency of the population transfer of this quantum control experiment.
