摘要
A novel technique is proposed to control the dissociation mechanism of small diatomic molecules. This technique, relying upon the creation of a coherent nuclear wavepacket, uses intense (> 10(14) W cm(-2)), ultrashort (similar to 10 fs) infrared laser pulses in a pump and probe scheme. In applying this technique to D-2(+) good agreement has been observed between a quantum simulation and experiment. This represents a major step towards quantum state control in molecules, using optical fields.
