NEW ADVANCES IN MID-IR PULSE SHAPING AND ITS APPLICATION TO 2D IR SPECTROSCOPY AND GROUND-STATE COHERENT CONTROL

摘要

Science often advances only as quickly as technology allows. This trend is especially evident in the field of molecular spectroscopy, where the science of studying molecular structures, dynamics, and chemical reactions has progressed in step with the technology of manipulating electromagnetic fields For example, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is now used to determine the structures of proteins, was made possible by radio-frequency technology developed in the 1950s Likewise, laser-guided control of excited-state chemistry became possible in the 1990s with technology for temporally shaping visible.
