Abstract
Quantum control of coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) was demonstrated. Raman spectra was measured with a resolution of the order of 5 cm-1 using shaped pulses with a bandwidth of about 120 cm-1. Nearly complete suppression of the nonresonant background signal was also demonstrated. Selective population of only one of the two Raman levels of pyridine, lying within the bandwidth of excitation pulses, was achieved. Simple modeling was used to derive the required spectral phases and the measured signals were found in agreement with the model predictions.
