Summary:

Level population as a function of laser pulse envelope area for an atom which could be approximated as a two level system was measured. An ideal two-level system under the action of an oscillating force is one of a few quantum mechanical systems for which the time-dependent Schroedinger equation can be solved exactly. The solution predicts that the population of the upper state, for a system which was entirely in the lower state at t = 0, varies as sin/sup 2/A, where A = ..integral../sub 0//sup t/ ..cap omega..(t) dt, and ..cap omega.. = e epsilon/sub 0/(t) x/sub 12//h-bar.
