Theory of perturbative pulse train based coherent control.
A theoretical description of coherent control of excited state dynamics using pulse trains in the perturbative regime, as carried out in recent experiments, is presented. Analytical expressions relating the excited state populations to the pulse train control parameters are derived. Numerical examples are provided for models of pyrazine and β-carotene, and the significant role of overlapping resonances is exposed.
