60. Furthermore, carrier frequencies of optical pulses are normally much higher than the characteristic frequencies of the bath spectral density so that the pump-pulse induced modification of the relaxation dynamics is not expected to be significant.

69. Alternatively, a moving vibrational wave packet in the ground electronic state can be created via a weak pump pulse, provided there exists a coupling between the excited and ground electronic states (Ref.).

71. By using short and positively chirped strong pump pulses (molecular π pulses), almost complete depopulation of the ground electronic state can be achieved (Ref.). Furthermore, combinations of short and strong pulses permit to switch populations among different electronic states with almost 100% efficacy (Ref.).

78. This finding also suggests the possibility to minimize the influence of bath-induced relaxations via manipulating the system dynamics by strong and short laser pulses.
