Abstract
We have numerically explored different optical schemes for manipulating the composition of a coherent vibrational wavepacket on the ground electronic state of the \(\hbox {HD}^{+}\) ion. This was achieved by simulating the impulsive interaction of one or more ultrashort laser pulses with stationary eigenstates of \(\hbox {HD}^{+}\). Such a study highlights the use of various laser fields for the preparation of a molecular ion vibrational wavepacket, with variable constituents, in its ground electronic state. We have investigated different control scenarios through proper optimisation of the laser parameters and plausible interpretations of the results were proposed.
