35 Conclusion: Interferences!!! Observation of the atomic quantum state during the light interaction Measurement with a reference, but no spectral condition for the reference (unlike conventional interferometric methods) Extension to multiple states (molecular nuclear wave packets) Pulse shape measurements (from da e /dt): Feasibility of reconstructing the phase and the amplitude using coherent transients No intrinsic limitation to measure complex shapes The only temporal limit is the linewidth of the atomic transition! Requires a resonant bound state as a local oscillator!! Interferences in ladder climbing Towards «non Franck-Condon» transitions More interferences to come!
