Orientation of molecules via laser-induced anti-alignment
arXiv:quant-ph/0509102 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.73.061401
Abstract
We show that field-free molecular orientation induced by a half-cycle pulse may be considerably enhanced by an additional laser pulse inducing molecular anti-alignment. Two qualitatively different enhancement mechanisms are identified depending on the pulse order, and their effects are optimized with the help of quasi-classical as well as fully quantum models.
