Abstract
The characteristic of population transfer of potassium atom by frequency-chirped super-gauss laser pulses is studied by using time-dependent multilevel approach(TDML).With the calculation of the population transfer of Rydberg potassium atoms with different super gauss index and half pulse width,the population is excited to the target states eventually.By studying the system's dynamic Rabi frequency,it has been found out that trapped population doesn't consist in the magnitude of the Rabi frequency,but in the change of the sign of Rabi frequency in appropriate time.
