Abstract
Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) is a technique that is capable of transferring an almost entire atomic or molecular population from one qu antum level to another by a coherent two-step excitation process. The most remarkable property of this technique is that it is applicable to situation s in which the intermediate atomic or molecular state is exposed to a large loss rate. However, the STIRAP process has not yet been used for laser spe ctrochemical analysis. As a part of the ongoing development of new laser-ba sed spectrometric techniques, this article demonstrates how a previously pu blished simulation program, DensMat, can be used to model STIRAP processes in atoms under various collisional and laser bandwidth conditions.
