Mid-infrared (MIR) ultrashort pulses have been successfully applied to nonlinear vibrational
spectroscopy and have proved useful in unravelling structural/vibrational dynamics of molecular
systems. MIR pulses might also provide a powerful tool to control the dynamics/reaction of matter at
the electronic ground state and to drive strong-field phenomena. Here we present techniques of coherent
spectral expansion and waveform shaping in MIR, both of which are important for light-matter control
experiments, and an example where the pulse shaping is applied to vibrational ladder climbing.
