Abstract

A method to solve the equations for the Morse oscillator under intense time-dependent external fields is presented. Exact analytical formulas for the dipole matrix elements are calculated by the use of the hypergeometric algebra. The continuum is described by an expansion using Laguerre functions. The full algorithm for the calculation of wave functions can be controlled by the convergence of series and by the errors of a first order integration method. We apply our technique to the selective preparation of high overtones by femtosecond laser pulses. The population of the target state is optimized as a function of the intensity and frequency. Introducing a second simultaneous laser, we study the effects of relative frequency and phase over the target state population and dissociation channels. The calculations exhibit a rich interference pattern showing the enhancement and the suppression of the target population by varying the laser parameters.
