Y. Ohtsuki et al., APPLICATION OF A LOCALLY OPTIMIZED CONTROL-THEORY TO PUMP-DUMP LASER-DRIVEN CHEMICAL-REACTIONS, Chemical physics letters, 287(5-6), 1998, pp. 627-631
A locally optimized control theory is developed. This theory is applie
d to pump-dump laser-driven chemical reactions via an electronically e
xcited state. The results show that the theory can design the pulse sh
apes for chemical reactions with high quantum yields in strong laser i
ntensity regimes in which perturbative treatments break down. (C) 1998
