Chirped Laser Pulse Effect on a Quantum Linear Oscillator

Abstract

We present a theoretical study of the excitation of a charged quantum linear oscillator by chirped laser pulse with the use of probability of the process throughout the pulse action. We focus on the case of the excitation of the oscillator from the ground state without relaxation. Calculations were made for an arbitrary value of the electric field strength by utilizing the exact expression for the excitation probability. The dependence of the excitation probability on the pulse parameters was analyzed both numerically and by using analytical formulas.
