With the narrow feature it is shown that it is feasible to apply complex optical pulse sequences analogous to rf pulse sequences used extensively in NMR.4 pagesThe author has the right to deposit the final version or the APS-prepared version on the ANU institutional repository as long the author was employed by the ANU when the paper was published and the repository is for the ANU Canberra campus only, not joint with other universities or other entities.
