title: Molecular dump processes induced by chirped laser pulses.
abstract: We focus on the applications of shaped-dump laser pulses in the femtosecond regime. Calculations on a model system show that a wealth of information on molecular properties can be obtained from spectroscopy with such pulses. Systematic parameter scans are presented for linearly chirped pulses and for colored double pulses, revealing the dynamical properties of the system. For characterization of the system, quantum control fitness landscapes prove to be a powerful tool.
