Control of coherent excitation of neon in the extreme ultraviolet regime
Abstract
Coherent excitation of a superposition of Rydberg states in neon by the 13th harmonic of an intense 804 nm pulse and the formation of a wave packet is reported. Pump–probe experiments are performed, where the 3d-manifold of the 2p6 → 2p5 (2P3/2) 3d [1/2]1- and 2p6 → 2p5 (2P3/2) 3d [3/2]1-transitions are excited by an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation pulse, which is centered at 20.05 eV
