The influence of femtosecond laser parameters on the wavepacket and population of the diabatic excited states of NaLi

Abstract

Using the three-state model and time-dependent wavepacket method, the influence of the parameters of the intense femtosecond laser field on the wavepacket dynamic process of the double-minimum potential state 5¹Σ⁺ and the population of the ground and diabatic electronic states of NaLi are investigated. The calculations show that different femtosecond laser parameters result in different influences on the evolution of the wavepacket and the population of NaLi. With increasing laser intensity and wavelength the diabatic coupling strength between A and B states first strengthens and then weakens. The population interchanges between A and B states when the laser pulse disappears. The above results provide the suggestions and useful information for one to achieve quantum manipulation of the molecule in an experiment.
