For a time there was concern over just how the uncertainty principle would limit what could be achieved with ultrafast laser pulses. The potential problem turned out to be chimerical, not a problem, once coherence came to be appreciated. This conceptual advance was essential to the successful development of experimental femtosecond chemistry it did not progress through better lasers and nonlinear optical tricks and faster computers alone.

R. de Vivie-Riedle and J. Manz Prof. Neumark s question about detecting the hole burning in the nuclear wavepacket of the electronic ground state is very stimulating. In this context, we have developed a scheme for detecting the hole in the wavepacket by a femtosecond chemistry laser experiment that involves two laser pulses Our explanation will be for the specific system K2, but more general applications for other systems are obvious ...
