Abstract
An overview is given of the principles of laser adiabatic manipulation of molecular bonds. The simplest scenario requires the coupling of the initial electronic state to a dissociative potential with the possible aid of a second excited bound potential. For molecules with large dipole moments, it is shown that ample control over the bond length is possible with strong ultrashort pulses.
