Optimal molecular alignment and orientation through rotational ladder climbing
Julien Salomon, Claude M. Dion, Gabriel Turinici
We study the control by electromagnetic fields of molecular alignment and orientation, in a linear, rigid rotor model. With the help of a monotonically convergent algorithm, we fin…
Time dependence of laser cooling in optical lattices
Claude M. Dion, Peder Sjolund, Stefan J. H. Petra +2
We study the dynamics of the cooling of a gas of caesium atoms in an optical lattice, both experimentally and with 1D full-quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We find that, contrary t…
Optimally Controlled Field-Free Orientation of the Kicked Molecule
Claude M. Dion, Arne Keller, Osman Atabek
Efficient and long-lived field-free molecular orientation is achieved using only two kicks appropriately delayed in time. The understanding of the mechanism rests upon a molecular…
