N2 - We propose a method to control population transfer and coherence in a multimode system using a transform-limited pump and a linearly chirped Stokes pulse in stimulated Raman scattering. Simultaneously applied pump and Stokes pulse are shown to induce the ac Stark shifts that result in nonadiabatic coupling of the dressed states, through which the pulse chirp governs population distribution. The method may be applied to selectively excite Raman transitions having the frequency difference less than the bandwidth of a transform-limited pulse.
