Abstract

Optimal control theory in combination with time-dependent quantum dynamics is employed to design laser pulses which can perform selective vibrational and rotational excitations in a heteronuclear diatomic system. We have applied the conjugate gradient method for the constrained optimization of a suitably designed functional incorporating the desired objectives and constraints. Laser pulses designed for several excitation processes of the HF molecule were able to achieve predefined dynamical goals with almost 100% yield. State selective control of vibrational and rotational molecular dynamics in HF by optimally designed laser pulses with high yields is reported.
