1 SCIENTIFIC SYNOPSIS Prof. Marjatta Lyyra co-pioneered high- resolution continuous wave triple resonance spectroscopy with initial applications in the areas of large internuclear distance spectroscopy and state-selective photo-dissociation dynamics studies in collaboration with the research group of Profs. William C. Stwalley and Paul D. Kleiber at the University of Iowa. More recently Prof. Lyyra s group has used this technique on coherence and quantum interference effects such as Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Autler-Townes splitting in open molecular systems. Her group has shown that these effects can be used to control molecular angular momentum alignment and quantum state character (singlet-triplet). In addition, her group has shown that Autler-Townes effect can be used as a precision probe of molecular transition dipole moments and their internuclear distance dependence. In this case an accurate measurement of the coupling laser E field amplitude together with the simulation of the Autler-Townes split line shape play a key role. Prof. Lyyra s group is also working on applications of coherence effects using the high-resolution cw quadruple resonance laser spectroscopic technique that was recently developed by her group.
