Reaching optimally oriented molecular states by laser kicks

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We present a strategy for post-pulse 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.
