complex quantum systems. As shown in Fig. 3.9c, for time delays exceeding the
pulse duration, i.e. τ > >t, the symmetry of the PMD deviates significantly from
the symmetry of the corresponding driving field. By increasing the intensity, we will
study how the control scenarios and the interplay between the symmetries evolve
from the multi-photon regime to the tunnel ionization regime. Because our shaping scheme supports modulation of multiple spectral bands, we plan to carry out
CEP-sensitive pump-probe studies using multi-color and multi-polarization pulse
sequences. Finally, we plan to extend our work on atomic model systems towards
small molecules, including chiral species, and investigate bichromatic control of
coupled electron nuclear dynamics.
