Field-free molecular alignment by the optimized two-color laser fields

Abstract

We have theoretically investigated the molecular orientation by a asymmetric potential created by the superposition of two-color laser fields. The time-dependent Schrodinger equation is solved numerically for different field parameters. We have shown how enhancement or suppression of the molecular orientation can be manipulated by the laser field parameters, such as time between laser pulses, the different intensity of the pulses, etc.
