▪ Abstract There has been much progress in the control of chemical reactions since methods
of active control were first proposed by Brumer & Shapiro and by Tannor & Rice ten years …

The time-dependent quantum mechanical approach has emerged as a powerful and a
practical computational tool for studying a variety of gas-phase chemical problems in recent …

Written by two of the world's leading researchers in the field, this is a systematic introduction
to the fundamental principles of coherent control, and to the underlying physics and …

Controlling matter with light has always been a great challenge, leading to the ever-
expanding field of photochemistry. In addition, since the first generation of light pulses of …

We review the principles and some recent advances in the theory of coherent control of
molecular processes and discuss some of its experimental realizations. Amongst the topics …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview on various scattering and reaction
processes taking place in a powerful laser field. These processes can be either laser …

Two-color (800 and 400 nm) short (45 fs) linearly polarized pulses are used to ionize and
dissociate D 2 into a neutral deuterium atom and a deuteron. The yields and energies of the …

Carrier-envelope phase difference effects in the dissociation of the HD+ molecular ion in the
field of an intense, linearly polarized, ultrashort laser pulse are studied in the framework of …

We present a review of work that has been done during the last 10 years on atomic
scattering and reaction processes in bichromatic laser fields. Of particular interest will be the …

This review article focuses on imaging and controlling ultrafast dynamics of the hydrogen
molecule and its cation, initiated by ultrashort laser pulses. We discuss the mechanisms …
