Three bursts of population on atomic Calcium are initially photoexited to a positive (unbound) energy states, at about 2 ps intervals. The energy of the states are 40 cm-1, 32 cm-1, and 15.5 cm-1. With these energies and 2 units of angular momentum, they begin moving away from the core, the big black dot. When the movie flashes white, the system is irradiated with half-cycle pulse (HCP) field, in this case, upwards, and to the right. Portions of the states moving parallel the HCP (remember electrons have a negative charge!) have momentum and energy extracted from them, forcing them to recombine with the parent ion, becoming bound again. The remainder of the movie is the evolution of this newly bound population. Note of particular interest is the very localized "spikes" that occurs periodically. The bandwidth of the excited population is about 10 cm-1. The spikes remind us of a simple "binary" counter (e.g. hookup 3 leds to a counter IC and watch them flash). Can this be a way of encoding information on an atom?
