Torsional control by intense pulses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We generalize the concepts of alignment and 3D alignment by moderately intense laser pulses to control both the overall rotations and the torsional motions of polyatomic molecules. Torsional control is applied to manipulate charge transfer events, hence introducing a potential route to light controlled molecular switches. Potential applications in areas such as molecular assembly, molecular spectroscopies, energy transfer, and molecule-based junctions are envisioned.

Manipulating the torsion of molecules by strong laser pulses.
We demonstrate that strong laser pulses can induce torsional motion in a molecule consisting of a pair of phenyl rings. A nanosecond laser pulse spatially aligns the carbon-carbon bond axis, connecting the two phenyl rings, allowing a perpendicularly polarized, intense femtosecond pulse to initiate torsional motion accompanied by an overall rotation about the fixed axis. We monitor the induced ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of an Intense Isolated Attosecond Pulse by a Chirped Two-Color Laser Field
We investigate theoretically the high-order harmonic spectrum extension and numerical generation of an intense isolated attosecond pulse from He+ ion irradiated by a two-color laser field. Our simulation results show that the chirp of the fundamental field can control HHG cutoff position. Also, these results show that the envelope forms of two fields are important factors for controlling the re...
متن کاملEffects of intense laser pulse properties on wake field acceleration in magnetized plasma: Half-Sine Shape (HSS) and Gaussian Shape (GS) pulses
In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...
متن کاملDynamics of Atoms & Molecules in Intense Laser Fields
Intense laser fields, comparable in magnitude with the Coulomb field within atoms and molecules, can be generated by focussing high-energy and ultrashort laser pulses. When exposed to such a strongly perturbing field, molecules exhibit various exotic features that cannot be observed in weak laser fields. We are seeking a deeper understanding of the behavior of molecules in intense laser fields,...
