The purpose of this study was to develop a model of the coherent excitation of the first few vibrational modes in the electronic ground state of the molecule. The model will be used in combination with an optimization algorithm to optimize a population in a specific vibrational level. We used two approaches to do this, in the one model we used Von Neumann’s equations and the other the Optical Bloch equations (OBE’s). In this poster presentation the Optical Bloch model was used to do the simulations.
