Quantum control of isotope-selective rovibrational excitations including two-photon processes

Kurosaki, Yuzuru*; Yokoyama, Keiichi  

Optimal control theory calculations are performed to investigate the possibility of isotope-selective ro-vibrational excitation of diatomic molecules. In the present calculation, rather strong laser field is applied. Consequently, in the given field strength, it has been found that two-photon excitations mainly proceed and that Raman process and one-photon process are minor processes. The final yield of the isotope selective ro-vibrational excitation is 0.6 - 0.9.
