Optical imaging of coherent molecular rotors
Jérémy Bert, Emilien Prost, Ilia Tutunnikov +7
Short laser pulses are widely used for controlling molecular rotational degrees of freedom and inducing molecular alignment, orientation, unidirectional rotation and other types of…
Giant Polarization Drag in a Gas of Molecular Superrotors
Uri Steinitz, Ilya Sh. Averbukh
Experiments on light dragging in a moving medium laid the cornerstones of modern physics more than a century ago, and they still are in the focus of current research. When linearly…
Observation of persistent orientation of chiral molecules by laser field with twisted polarization
Ilia Tutunnikov, Johannes Floß, Erez Gershnabel +4
Molecular chirality is an omnipresent phenomenon of fundamental significance in physics, chemistry and biology. For this reason, search for novel techniques for enantioselective co…
Laser induced persistent orientation of chiral molecules
Ilia Tutunnikov, Johannes Floß, Erez Gershnabel +2
We show, both classically and quantum mechanically, enantioselective orientation of gas phase chiral molecules excited by laser fields with twisted polarization. Counterintuitively…
Controlled enantioselective orientation of chiral molecules with an optical centrifuge
Alexander A. Milner, Jordan A. M. Fordyce, Ian MacPhail-Bartley +4
We report on the first experimental demonstration of enantioselective rotational control of chiral molecules with a laser field. In our experiments, two enantiomers of propylene ox…
Echo in a Single Molecule
Junjie Qiang, Ilia Tutunnikov, Peifen Lu +7
Echo is a ubiquitous phenomenon found in many physical systems, ranging from spins in magnetic fields to particle beams in hadron accelerators. It is typically observed in inhomoge…
