    "abstract": "Maximizing nonlinear light-matter interactions is a primary motive for\ncompressing laser pulses to achieve ultrashort transform limited pulses. Here\nwe show how, by appropriately shaping the pulses, resonant multiphoton\ntransitions can be enhanced significantly beyond the level achieved by\nmaximizing the pulse\u0027s peak intensity. We demonstrate the counterintuitive\nnature of this effect with an experiment in a resonant two-photon absorption,\nin which, by selectively removing certain spectral bands, the peak intensity of\nthe pulse is reduced by a factor of 40, yet the absorption rate is doubled.\nFurthermore, by suitably designing the spectral phase of the pulse, we increase\nthe absorption rate by a factor of 7.",
