Rotation of polarization of light propagating through a gas of molecular super-rotors
Ilia Tutunnikov, Uri Steinitz, Erez Gershnabel +4
We present a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the rotation of the plane of polarization of light traveling through a gas of fast-spinning molecules. This effect is si…
Visualizing coherent molecular rotation in a gaseous medium
Ilia Tutunnikov, Emilien Prost, Uri Steinitz +5
Inducing and controlling the ultrafast molecular rotational dynamics using shaped laser fields is essential in numerous applications. Several approaches exist that allow following…
Observation of mechanical Faraday effect in gas media
Alexander A. Milner, Uri Steinitz, Ilya Sh. Averbukh +1
We report the experimental observation of the rotation of the polarization plane of light propagating in a gas of fast-spinning molecules (molecular super-rotors). In the observed…
Optical imaging of coherent molecular rotors
Jérémy Bert, Emilien Prost, Ilia Tutunnikov +7
Short laser pulses are widely used for controlling molecular rotational degrees of freedom and inducing molecular alignment, orientation, unidirectional rotation and other types of…
Giant Polarization Drag in a Gas of Molecular Superrotors
Uri Steinitz, Ilya Sh. Averbukh
Experiments on light dragging in a moving medium laid the cornerstones of modern physics more than a century ago, and they still are in the focus of current research. When linearly…
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…
