Abstract
Employing the model of a pulsed Morse oscillator, we show that adiabatic evolution of Floquet states is possible even if the quasienergy spectrum is continuous. This fact is of fundamental importance for a mechanism that allows the selective excitation of molecular vibrational states by appropriately shaped, short, strong laser pulses.Keywords
