Experiments aimed at understanding ultrafast molecular processes are now routine, and the notion that external laser fields can constitute an additional reagent is also well established. The possibility of externally controlling a reaction with radiation increases immensely when its intensity is sufficiently high to distort the potential energy surfaces at which chemists conceptualize...

About a decade ago, the so-called lochfrass effect was
predicted that creates a vibrational wavepacket in the non-ionized
neutral molecule upon strong-field ionization. It was shortly thereafter
experimentally observed in molecular deuterium. However, as was pointed
out in those works, the vibrational wavepacket could, in principle,
also be generated by bond softening (the...

When excited by a pulse sequence generated by sinusoidal spectral phase modulation a resonantly driven atom or molecule may experience the control mechanism SPODS. The Selective Population of Dressed States enables selective and efficient transient as well as final state control by precisely tailoring the phase of the laser field to the induced dynamics and making use of the dynamical Stark...

The helium hydride molecular ion, HeH+, is the simplest heteronuclear polar molecule and serves as a benchmark system for the investigation of multi-electron molecules and molecules with a permanent dipole. We specifically address the question: How does the permanent dipole of HeH+ affect the fragmentation dynamics in intense ultrashort laser pulses? We study the laser induced laser-induced...
