Optical Quantum Control
|
Topics
- Optics
- Pulses
Description
Explore an active area of research in optical physics: producing designer pulse shapes to achieve specific purposes, such as breaking apart a molecule. Carefully create the perfect shaped pulse to break apart a molecule by individually manipulating the colors of light that make up a pulse.
Sample Learning Goals
- Explore how to use a frequency filter to generate shaped pulses and how to use these pulses to excite molecules.
