Optical centrifuge as a probe of strong dissipative coupling between a molecular rotor and superfluid helium
Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Sören E. Mahr, Cameron E. Peters +7
A macroscopic manifestation of superfluidity is that objects moving through liquid helium experience negligible friction below the Landau critical velocity. How this frictionless m…
Ultraslow optical centrifuge with arbitrarily low rotational acceleration
Kevin Wang, Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Cameron E. Peters +1
We outline the design and characterization of a laser pulse shaper, which creates an ``ultraslow optical centrifuge'' - a linearly polarized field whose polarization vector rotates…
Control of molecular rotation in helium nanodroplets with an optical centrifuge
Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Alexander A. Milner, Frank Stienkemeier +1
We experimentally demonstrate that the rotation of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets can be controlled with an optical centrifuge, allowing for the study of molecular dynam…
Coherent control of molecular rotation in superfluid helium
Alexander A. Milner, Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Katarina Preocanin +3
We experimentally demonstrate control of molecular rotation in bulk superfluid . Metastable helium dimers, , are rotationally excited by a periodic…
Laser control of molecular rotation: Expanding the utility of an optical centrifuge
Ian MacPhail-Bartley, Walter W. Wasserman, Alexander A. Milner +1
Since its invention in 1999, optical centrifuge has become a powerful tool for controlling molecular rotation and studying molecular dynamics and molecular properties at extreme le…
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…
