Representation of a femtosecond laser pulse that has been polarization modulated, in both degree of polarization and orientation of the principal axes, so as to increase the level of quantum control. The colors indicate the momentary frequencies and the shadows represent the amplitude envelopes of the two orthogonal components. [T. Brixner, G. Krampert, T. Pfeifer, R. Selle, G. Gerber, M. Wollenhaupt, O. Graefe, C. Horn, D. Liese, and T. Baumert, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 208301 (2004)]
