Reaching optimally oriented molecular states by laser kicks

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: We present a strategy for postpulse molecular orientation aiming both at efficiency and maximal duration within a rotational period. We first identify the optimally oriented states which fulfill both requirements. We show that a sequence of half-cycle pulses of moderate intensity can be devised for reaching these target states.
