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 (A¹Σ_u⁺, B¹Π_u, C¹Σ_u⁺, and D¹Π_u), corresponding to laser pulse parameters: amplitude ε₀ = 0.169; duration t_f 41341.37; frequency ω matches transition energy (in atomic units).
