✦ Synopsis

We report the direct observation of the dressed state which is populated during adiabatic passage of a molecule through the curved wavefronts of a strong nominally resonant pump laser. The dressed system is probed by a weak probe laser halfway during its passage through the pump field. Adiabaticity is demonstrated to break down at high probe intensity.

It is demonstrated that efficient and high vibrational excitation can be achieved using non-resonant stimulated Raman transitions for subsequent step by step climbing of vibrational levels. The pump laser (or both the pump and Stokes laser) frequency are to be swept in such a way that the frequency
