Abstract
We report on a physical mechanism of coherent control with intense shaped femtosecond laser pulses. We study photoelectron spectra from multi-photon ionization of potassium atoms and dimers using tailored femtosecond laser pulses. Our results are interpreted in terms of Selective Population of Dressed States (SPODS). Two realizations of SPODS by Photon Locking (PL) via pulse sequences and Rapid Adiabatic Passage (RAP) via chirped pulses are discussed. New physical mechanisms arise, when both PL and RAP are at play simultaneously. Control by the combined effect of PL and RAP is studied by mapping out a two-parameter Quantum Control Landscape (QCL) for selective population of dressed states.
