We have considered a coherent population transfer to a higher excited singlet state (S2 ) of molecules with anomalous fluorescence in molecular assemblies (e.g., a dense medium). A direct excitation to S2 requires light in the UV region. Because of this, the transition is conveniently realized by a two-step (two-photon) process: S → S → S , where transitions S → S and S → S 0 1 2 0 1 1 2 correspond to the optical region. We have shown that efficient stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in the ladder configuration can be realized in this case, using suitably chirped pulses, to compensate a change of the two-photon transition frequency in time, induced by the pulses themselves, due to near dipole-dipole inte
