Using high resolution multiple resonance excitation of molecular systems [1<\/a>] we have expanded Quantum Optics from closed atomic systems to open molecular systems despite much weaker oscillator strengths and complex relaxation pathways.  Molecular systems are open in the sense that excited states have a variety of relaxation options.  The richness of molecular excitation pathways and the number of molecular interactions have made it possible to develop novel applications in this field [2<\/a>] with the Autler-Townes effect as a tool.  We have demonstrated control of molecular angular momentum alignment [3<\/a>], Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) [4<\/a>, 5<\/a>], and control of molecular quantum state spin multiplicity character [6<\/a>].  We have also shown that EIT can be used to map the absolute magnitude and the internuclear distance dependence of the electronic transition dipole moment function [7<\/a>].<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
