Inhibited, Explosive and Anisotropic Relaxation in a Gas of Molecular Super-Rotors
Yuri Khodorkovsky, Uri Steinitz, Jean-Michel Hartmann +1
Recently, several femtosecond laser techniques have been developed that are capable of bringing gas molecules to extremely fast rotation in a very short time, while keeping their t…
Modifying molecular scattering from rough solid surfaces using ultrashort laser pulses
Yuri Khodorkovsky, J. R. Manson, Ilya Sh. Averbukh
We consider solid surface scattering of molecules that were subject to strong non-resonant ultrashort laser pulses just before hitting the surface. The pulses modify the rotational…
Modifying molecule-surface scattering by ultrashort laser pulses
Yuri Khodorkovsky, J. R. Manson, Ilya Sh. Averbukh
In recent years it became possible to align molecules in free space using ultrashort laser pulses. Here we explore two schemes for controlling molecule-surface scattering process,…
Controlling the sense of molecular rotation: classical vs quantum analysis
Yuri Khodorkovsky, Kenta Kitano, Hirokazu Hasegawa +2
Recently, it was predicted theoretically and verified experimentally that a pair of delayed and cross-polarized short laser pulses can create molecular ensembles with a well define…
Controlling the sense of molecular rotation
Sharly Fleischer, Yuri Khodorkovsky, Yehiam Prior +1
We introduce a new scheme for controlling the sense of molecular rotation. By varying the polarization and the delay between two ultrashort laser pulses, we induce unidirectional m…
