Kobrak-Rice

The Kobrak-Rice scheme generates adiabatic population transfer to one of a pair of degenerate states in a manifold of five states. In the application to thio-phosgene, as is also the case in application to other systems, a subset of five states is abstracted from the fiill manifold of states, as shown in Figure 3.14. In this subset of states, in addition to the pump and Stokes fields connecting 11) 2), 2) 3), and 2) 4), respectively, a third field is used to connect 3) 5) and 4) 5) this field acts throughout the duration of both the pump and Stokes fields. When the frequencies of the transitions 3) 5) and 4) 5) are...
