Coherent Electronic Wave Packet Motion in C-60 Controlled by the Waveform and Polarization of Few-Cycle Laser Fields. Physical Review Letters, 114(12), 6. doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.123004Strong laser fields can be used to trigger an ultrafast molecular response that involves electronic excitation and ionization dynamics. Here, we report on the experimental control of the spatial localization of the electronic excitation in the C-60 fullerene exerted by an intense few-cycle (4 fs) pulse at 720 nm. The control is achieved by tailoring the carrier-envelope phase and the polarization of the laser pulse. We find that the maxima and minima of the photoemission-asymmetry parameter along the laser-polarization axis are synchronized with the localization of the coherent electronic wave packet at around the time of ionization.Additional Authors: Tiggesbaumker, J.;Meiwes-Broer, K.
