   Abstract:
   We show numerically that the complex hyperbolic secant pulse provides robust selective inversion of vibrational overtones. A density-matrix analysis is performed for a ten-level Morse-oscillator approximation of a diatomic molecule. We also show that in the limit of adiabatic excitation the complex-hyperbolic-secant pulse yields an inversion spectrum that is narrower than its spectral bandwidth. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
