We demonstrate strong-field population inversion in a three-level system with single and multiphoton coupling between levels using a single shaped ultrafast laser pulse. Our interpretation of the pulse shape dependence illustrates the difference between sequential population transfer and adiabatic rapid passage in three-level systems with multiphoton coupling between levels.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
