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…

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…
