Abstract
We study Rydberg wave packets produced by pairs of time separated femtosecond laser pulses. The time separation ranges from femtosecond to picosecond time scales. The wave packets consist predominantly of $f$ states of principal quantum numbers $n=22$--32 in Li. With a direct analysis of the field ionization spectra the $n$-level-resolved classical orbit times are displayed. By chirping the second excitation pulse we demonstrate controlled amplitude oscillations of $n$-level amplitudes on femtosecond time scales.
