Abstract
We apply the tools of adiabatic Floquet theory to study the control of population transfer and tunneling processes by strong laser pulses. W e show how tunneling can be enhanced by intermediate resonant levels b y choosing appropriate pulse parameters. We obtain complete tunneling in times that are much shorter than the bare tunneling time or the tim es obtained without intermediate levels.
