Molecular Control

Research carried out at Princeton University in collaboration with H. Rabitz, Chemistry Dept., and members of his research group

Control laws were developed for commanding a laser to generate an electric field to accomplish molecular design by selective bond breaking. The feedback linearization method was used to construct a nonlinear inverse for the molecular dynamics responding to the laser field.
