Abstract
We present an extended theory of optimal control for the analytical design of feasible laser pulses for photoisomerization. The new algorithms incorporate feedback from the laser field and a subsequent pulse analysis. The method is applied for the photoisomerization of Li2Na by means of wave packet propagation on ab initio potential surfaces. High product state specifity together with high quantum yield is achieved.
