Rotational excitation of molecules in the regime of strong ro-vibrational coupling: Comparison between an optical centrifuge and a transform-limited pulse
J. M. GarcÃa-Garrido, V. Milner, C. P. Koch +1
We investigate theoretically the ability of an optical centrifuge - a laser pulse whose linear polarization is rotating at an accelerated rate, to control molecular rotation in the…

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…
