N2 - Femtosecond, chirped laser pulse-based methods are presented to control coherence in vibrational degrees of freedom in molecules via Raman transitions. The controllability of the methods is analyzed in the presence of fast decoherence and the coupling between vibrational modes. Applications are diverse and include the development of novel imaging techniques based on the coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, and the implementation of the optical frequency combs for internal state cooling from Feshbach molecules aiming at creation of deeply bound ultracold polar molecules.
