Abstract

We report on the application of an evolutionary algorithm to a noisy, dynamic optimization problem in chemistry: the maximization of three-photon absorption in molecular iodine. An evolution strategy is used in real-time in a closed loop experiment to search the space of physically realizable phasemodulated femtosecond laser pulses. The probability of threephoton absorption is estimated by measuring UV fluorescence. With the evolutionary search it is possible to enhance the UV fluorescence by a factor of 3.4 compared to the most intense pulse. © 2007 IEEE.
