Quantum-state selection, alignment, and orientation of large molecules using static electric and laser fields
Frank Filsinger, Jochen Küpper, Gerard Meijer +5
Supersonic beams of polar molecules are deflected using inhomogeneous electric fields. The quantum-state selectivity of the deflection is used to spatially separate molecules accor…
Laser-induced alignment and orientation of quantum-state-selected large molecules
Lotte Holmegaard, Jens H. Nielsen, Iftach Nevo +4
A strong inhomogeneous static electric field is used to spatially disperse a supersonic beam of polar molecules, according to their quantum state. We show that the molecules residi…
Manipulating the torsion of molecules by strong laser pulses
C. B. Madsen, L. B. Madsen, S. S. Viftrup +6
A proof-of-principle experiment is reported, where torsional motion of a molecule, consisting of a pair of phenyl rings, is induced by strong laser pulses. A nanosecond laser pulse…
