Abstract

We have performed the double-pulse coherent control of nuclear wave packets, where the sequence of two identical femtosecond laser pulses generates two identical nuclear wave packets in the A30+ state of the single Hg–Ar van der Waals complex. The time delay between the two laser pulses is tuned with an accuracy in attosecond time scale to induce constructive and destructive interferences of the two nuclear wave packets. The interferogram measured by scanning the time delay shows a high-frequency oscillation with a period of 830 attoseconds. Wave packets have been manipulated in attosecond time scale for the first time.
