Investigating the Selective Control of Photoassociation of Yb2

Figure 5

The projections of the time-dependent vibrational wave function of Yb2, interacting with a resonant laser pulse, on the main five vibrational eigenstates of excited states (A1Σu+, B1Πu, C1Σu+, and D1Πu), corresponding to laser pulse parameters: amplitude ε0 = 0.169; duration tf 41341.37; frequency ω matches transition energy (in atomic units).
