The nonadiabatic nuclear wavepacket dynamics on the coupled two lowest (1)Sigma(+) states of the LiF molecule under the action of a control pulse is investigated. The control is achieved by a modulation of the characteristics of the potential energy curves using an infrared field with a cycle duration comparable to the time scale of nuclear dynamics. The transition of population between the states is interpreted on the basis of the coupled nuclear wavepacket dynamics on the effective potential curves, which are transformed from the adiabatic potential curves with use of a diabatic representation that diagonalizes the dipole-moment matrix of the relevant electronic states. The basic feature of the transition dynamics is characterized in terms of the notion of the collision between the dynamical crossing point and nuclear wavepackets running on such modulated potential curves, and the transition amplitude is mainly dominated by the off-diagonal matrix element of the time-independent electronic Hamiltonian in the present diabatic representation. The importance of the geometry dependence of the intrinsic dipole moments as well as of the diabatic coupling potential is illustrated both theoretically and numerically.
