"Molecular waveplate" for the control of ultrashort pulses carrying orbital angular momentum
Chengqing Xu, Lixin He, Wanchen Tao +8
Ultrashort laser pulses carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have become essential tools in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) studies, particularly for investigating strong-f…
Optimal Selective Orientation of Chiral Molecules Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Yehiam Prior +1
We present a comprehensive study of enantioselective orientation of chiral molecules excited by a pair of delayed cross-polarized femtosecond laser pulses. We show that by optimizi…
Three Dimensional Orientation of Complex Molecules Excited by Two-Color Femtosecond Pulses
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Yehiam Prior +1
We study the excitation of asymmetric-top (including chiral) molecules by two-color femtosecond laser pulses. In the cases of non-chiral asymmetric-top molecules excited by an orth…
Long-Lasting Orientation of Symmetric-top Molecules Excited by Two-Color Femtosecond Pulses
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Yehiam Prior +1
Impulsive orientation of symmetric-top molecules excited by two-color femtosecond pulses is considered. In addition to the well-known transient orientation appearing immediately af…
Enantioselective Orientation of Chiral Molecules Induced by Terahertz Pulses with Twisted Polarization
Ilia Tutunnikov, Long Xu, Robert W. Field +3
Chirality and chiral molecules are key elements in modern chemical and biochemical industries. Individual addressing, and the eventual separation of chiral enantiomers has been and…
Echoes in Unidirectionally Rotating Molecules
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Lianrong Zhou +6
Abstract We report the experimental observation of molecular unidirectional rotation (UDR) echoes, and analyze their origin and behavior both classically and quantum mechanically.…
