Abstract
Selective multiphoton excitations can be achieved by tailoring the driving pulses to manipulate the outcome of the light-matter interaction. While single-photon transitions of single atoms driven by ultrashort pulses, dependent mainly on the resonant frequency component, and thus possesses no optical selectivity no matter how the excitation pulse shapes [1]. Interestingly, when an ultrashort pulse interacts with an optically dense medium, quantum controllable optical selectivity can be achieved in a single-photon process.
