Abstract
Analytic solutions for a class of pulses that includes an infinite variety of amplitude and frequency modulations which we previously obtained are applied specifically to the square, Gaussian, Lorentzian, hyperbolic-secant, and the exponential pulses, among others. For all the different types of amplitude- and its corresponding frequency-modulated functions, the outcome of the atomic excitation is given by the same simple analytic formulas. Our analytic solutions apply equally to two-state collision problems.Keywords
