Field-free two-direction alignment alternation of linear molecules by elliptic laser pulses

D. Daems, S. Guérin, E. Hertz +3

We show that a linear molecule subjected to a short specific elliptically polarized laser field yields postpulse revivals exhibiting alignment alternatively located along the ortho…

Efficient and long-lived field-free orientation of molecules by a single hybrid short pulse

D. Daems, S. Guérin, D. Sugny +1

We show that a combination of a half-cycle pulse and a short nonresonant laser pulse produces a strongly enhanced postpulse orientation. Robust transients that display both efficie…
