Abstract

Ultrashort laser pulses that span only a small number of optical cycles have a broad energy spectrum. Interaction of such a broad energy ultraviolet pulse with a molecule excites a coherent superposition of several electronic states that are within the pulse energy window. Such a coherent electronic wavepacket necessarily evolves on more than one Born-Oppenheimer potential energy curve at a time. We study the short time electron nuclei dynamics induced by an ultrashort XUV pulse in the three lowest Σ and three lowest Π excited states of the nitrogen molecule that are accessible from the electronic ground state.
