Already in the past diatomic molecules have played a prominent role in understanding molecular processes. Therefore, an existing theoretical approach for the description of diatomic molecules with two electrons (like molecular hydrogen) exposed to ultrashort intense laser fields should be extended to diatomic molecules with an arbitrary number of electrons. A number of different approaches beyong single-electron models should be implemented. With the aid of these codes simulations shall be performed that study the behaviour of diatomic molecules in shaped laser fields or sequences of laser pulses. This should allow for the verification of control schemes.
