Abstract
We used a computer controlled LCD to shape the spectrum of a short laser pulse which was then used to excite a shaped atomic wavepacket. We use amplified programmable shaped optical pulses to engineer Rydberg wavefunctions. The method employs a computer-controlled liquid crystal pulse shaper[l]. The wavefunctions, which are nonstationary states, are monitored by observing temporal interference via the optical Ramsey method[2,3].
