Search space mapping: getting a picture of coherent laser control

J Phys Chem A. 2006 Oct 12;110(40):11388-91. doi: 10.1021/jp0639997.

Abstract

Search space mapping is a method for quickly visualizing the experimental parameters that can affect the outcome of a coherent control experiment. We demonstrate experimental search space mapping for the selective fragmentation and ionization of para-nitrotoluene and show how this method allows us to gather information about the dominant trends behind our achieved control.
