Where neuroscience and dynamic system theory meet autonomous robotics: A contracting basal ganglia model for action selection. (2008)

Girard, B., Tabareau, N., Pham, Q. C., Berthoz, A.

Action selection, the problem of choosing what to do next, is central to any autonomous agent architecture. We use here a multi-disciplinary approach at the convergence of neuroscience, dynamical...

Adiabatic excitation of rotational ladder by chirped laser pulses (2004)

Zamith, S., Blanchet, V., Girard, B., Andersson, J., Sorensen, S. L., Hjelte, I., ...

We study the dynamics of highly excited states in acetylene initiated by an ultrashort vacuum ultraviolet laser pulse. Electronic states lying in the 4s-3d Rydberg region are excited with one...

(3 + 1)-resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization-photoelectron spectroscopy of the (3d-4s) supercomplex of acetylene: The geometry of the E state revisited through experiment and theory (2003)

(3 + 1)-resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization-photoelectron spectroscopy (REMPI-PES) has been carried out via various low vibrational levels of the D, F, and E states belonging to the (3d-4s)...

Interferences of Ultrashort Free Electron Wave Packets (2002)

Wollenhaupt, M., Assion, A., Liese, D., Sarpe-Tudoran, Ch., Baumert, T., Zamith, S., ...

Interferences of free electron wave packets generated by a pair of identical, time-delayed, femtosecond laser pulses which ionize excited atomic potassium have been observed. Two different schemes...

Observation of Coherent Transients in Ultrashort Chirped Excitation of an Undamped Two-Level System (2001)

Zamith, S., Degert, J., Stock, S., De Beauvoir, B., Blanchet, V., Bouchene, M. A., ...

The effects of coherent excitation of a two-level system with a linearly chirped pulse are studied theoretically and experimentally [in Rb ( 5s-5p)] in the low field regime. The coherent transients...

Spin-polarized electrons produced by a sequence of two femtosecond pulses. Calculation of differential and global polarization rates (2001)

Bouchene, M. A., Zamith, S., Girard, B.

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the possibilities of producing spin-polarized electrons with a sequence of two ultra-short time-delayed laser pulses. The first pulse, which is right...

Polarization-dependent pump-probe studies in atomic fine-structure levels: towards the production of spin-polarized electrons (2000)

Sokell, E., Zamith, S., Bouchene, M. A., Girard, B.

The precession of orbital and spin angular momentum vectors has been observed in a pump-probe study of the 4P fine-structure states of atomic potassium. A femtosecond pump pulse prepared a coherent...

Saturation of wave-packet interferences: Direct observation of spin precession in potassium atoms (1999)

Nicole, C., Bouchene, M. A., Zamith, S., Melikechi, N., Girard, B.

A sequence of two identical ultrashort laser pulses creates quantum interferences in an atom. In the weak-field regime, the observed beats between interferences arising from various transitions are...
