Optimal molecular alignment and orientation through rotational ladder climbing

Julien Salomon, Claude M. Dion, Gabriel Turinici

We study the control by electromagnetic fields of molecular alignment and orientation, in a linear, rigid rotor model. With the help of a monotonically convergent algorithm, we fin…

Optimally Controlled Field-Free Orientation of the Kicked Molecule

Claude M. Dion, Arne Keller, Osman Atabek

Efficient and long-lived field-free molecular orientation is achieved using only two kicks appropriately delayed in time. The understanding of the mechanism rests upon a molecular…
