Fig. 2: Ionic population distribution with and without the coupling process.
From: Sub-cycle coherent control of ionic dynamics via transient ionization injection
a Dynamic evolution of electronic state population of N\({}_{2}^{+}\) taking into account of both ionization and laser-ion coupling (solid curves), and that obtained by considering only the ionization (dashed curves). The molecular axis is aligned to be 45∘ with respect to the laser polarization direction. The final vibrational state-resolved population distribution for each electronic state after interaction are respectively shown in b–d.
