Controlled excitation of rotons in superfluid helium with an optical centrifuge
Alexander A. Milner, Valery Milner
We experimentally demonstrate a controlled transfer of angular momentum to roton pairs in superfluid helium. The control is executed with an optical centrifuge and detected with co…
Dynamics of molecular rotors in bulk superfluid helium
Alexander A. Milner, V. A. Apkarian, Valery Milner
Molecules immersed in liquid helium are excellent probes of superfluidity. Their electronic, vibrational and rotational dynamics provide valuable clues about the superfluid at the…
Ultrafast non-equilibrium dynamics of rotons in superfluid helium
A. A. Milner, P. C. E. Stamp, V. Milner
Superfluid 4He, the first superfluid ever discovered, is in some ways the least well understood. Unlike 3He superfluid, or the variety of Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold gas…
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…
State- and molecule-selective rotational control in gas mixtures with a shaped optical centrifuge
P. Amani, A. A. Milner, V. Milner
We demonstrate experimentally a method of all-optical selective rotational control in gas mixtures. Using an optical centrifuge - an intense laser pulse whose linear polarization r…
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…
