Abstract
We show experimentally, here for Na vapor, and theoretically that pico second frequency-swept laser pulses create in multilevel systems an in version profile which is far narrower than the pulse spectrum. This se lectivity persists even when the Rabi frequency is substantially large r than the spacing between pumped and suppressed transitions.
