COHERENT CONTROL OF MULTIPHOTON DRIVEN PROCESSES - A LASER-INDUCED CATALYST

摘要

A well-known quantum interference phenomenon is combined with laser-induced collisional energy transfer to create a coherently controlled excitation involving two species. From one viewpoint the process involves a laser induced catalyst. An experimental demonstration is performed in mixtures of Xe and Kr gases. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics. [References: 32]
