Coherent spectroscopy of collective excitations in superfluid helium far from equilibrium
Gabriel Voith, Alexander A. Milner, Michael J. Desrochers +2
Ultrafast dynamics of collective excitations in superfluids remains largely unexplored beyond the roton region of the Landau excitation spectrum, despite the importance of such dyn…

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…

An optical centrifuge with zero rotational acceleration
K. Wang, A. Hardikar, A. A. Milner +1
An optical centrifuge is a laser pulse which enables controlled rotational excitation of molecules. Centrifuged molecules rotating with well-defined angular frequencies are ideal c…
