An effective scheme is proposed for the laser control of wave packet dynamics. It is demonstrated that by using specially designed quadratically chirped pulses, fast and nearly complete excitation of wave packet can be achieved without significant distortion of its shape. The parameters of the laser pulse can be estimated analytically from the Zhu-Nakamura theory of nonadiabatic transition. If the wave packet is not too narrow or not too broad, then the scheme is expected to be utilizable for multidimensional systems. The scheme is applicable to various processes such as simple electronic excitation, pump-dump, and selective bond breaking, and it is actually numerically demonstrated to work well by taking diatomic and triatomic molecules (LiH, NaK, H(2)O) as examples.

Achieving highly tailored control over both the spatial and temporal evolution of light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) on ultrafast timescales remains a critical challenge in photonics. Here, we introduce a method to modulate the OAM of light on a femtosecond scale by engineering a space-time coupling in ultrashort pulses. By linking azimuthal position with time, we implement an azimuthally varying Fourier transformation to dynamically alter light's spatial distribution in a fixed transverse plane.

Article Synopsis
- The study develops a method for detecting debonding defects in concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) structures using piezoelectric sensors and wave analysis.
- Experimental and numerical tests compare the effectiveness of flat and oblique measurement methods, finding that flat measurements are best for height detection, while oblique measurements excel at length detection.
- A new mathematical model linking wavelet packet energy to debonding size enhances the detection process, aiding in maintenance and repair of CFST structures through improved accuracy in defect analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study reveals that laser-assisted dynamic interference in electron spectra can be experimentally observed using attosecond pulse trains, demonstrating fine interference patterns smaller than the energy of individual laser photons.
- Theoretical simulations align with experimental findings, utilizing methods like the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and strong-field approximation to support the results.
- Further analysis emphasizes the significance of phase variations in electron wave packets, showing that the manipulation of electron behavior in the continuum is achievable through advanced multicolor laser techniques controlled at attosecond timescales.
