Abstract:
Optimal control theory (OCT) has wide applicability in the quest for seeking optimal laser pulses in coherent control of quantum phenomena. We have revised OCT making it possible to distill robust electric fields realizable via femtosecond pulse-shaping technology. The simple pulse structures offer direct physical insight into the control mechanism and selectively isolate the most stable pathways involving only few frequencies. Moreover, a generalized functional makes a vital extension in including the laser system used in control experiments.
