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…
Long-lasting Molecular Orientation Induced by a Single Terahertz Pulse
Long Xu, Ilia Tutunnikov, Erez Gershnabel +2
Control of molecular rotations by laser fields is an active area of research focusing on the alignment/orientation of otherwise isotropic molecular samples. Oriented molecules are…
Observation of persistent orientation of chiral molecules by laser field with twisted polarization
Ilia Tutunnikov, Johannes Floß, Erez Gershnabel +4
Molecular chirality is an omnipresent phenomenon of fundamental significance in physics, chemistry and biology. For this reason, search for novel techniques for enantioselective co…
Laser induced persistent orientation of chiral molecules
Ilia Tutunnikov, Johannes Floß, Erez Gershnabel +2
We show, both classically and quantum mechanically, enantioselective orientation of gas phase chiral molecules excited by laser fields with twisted polarization. Counterintuitively…
Selective Orientation of Chiral Molecules by Laser Fields with Twisted Polarization
I. Tutunnikov, E. Gershnabel, S. Gold +1
We explore a pure optical method for enantioselective orientation of chiral molecules by means of laser fields with twisted polarization. Several field implementations are consider…
Orienting Asymmetric Molecules by Laser Fields with Skewed Polarization
E. Gershnabel, I. Sh. Averbukh
We study interaction of generic asymmetric molecules with a pair of strong time-delayed short laser pulses with crossed linear polarizations. We show that such an excitation not on…
