摘　　要：A nonresonant two-photon absorption process can be manipulated by tailoring the ultra-short laser pulse. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate a highly selective population of two excited states in the nonresonant two- photon absorption process by rationally designing a spectral phase distribution. Our results show that one excited state is maximally populated while the other state population is widely tunable from zero to the maximum value. We believe that the theoretical results may play an important role in the selective population of a more complex nonlinear process comprising nonresonant two-photon absorption, such as resonance-mediated （2-~l）-three-photon absorption and （2q-1）-resonant multiphoton ionization.A nonresonant two-photon absorption process can be manipulated by tailoring the ultra-short laser pulse.
