Abstract

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the control of the non-resonant two-photon absorption induced by two time-delayed laser pulses, and an analytical solution for the dependence of the two-photon transition probability on the time delay and relative carrier-envelope phase of the two laser pulses is achieved. We show that the two-photon absorption can be significantly enhanced or completely suppressed by varying the time delay between the two laser pulses or their relative carrier-envelope phase. We also show that the two-photon absorption can be selectively excited when two excited states are simultaneously excited. Furthermore, we discuss the two-photon absorption control in the molecular system and analyze the effect of the absorption bandwidth on the control efficiency of the two-photon absorption.
