Abstract
The use of tailored light pulses to control molecular motion has been demonstrated.1,2 In the current work we explore the use of chirped pulses to control the focusing of molecular wave packets on a several picosecond time scale in both gas phase I2 and I2 in a solid Kr matrix.3,4 We also find that the yield of three-photon fluorescence in gas phase I2 is chirp dependent.
