The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

This is a review of some recent development in femtosecond filamentation science with
emphasis on our collective work. Previously reviewed work in the field will not be discussed …

We study how the combination of long and short laser pulses can be used to induce torsion
in an axially chiral biphenyl derivative (3, 5-difluoro-3′, 5′-dibromo-4′-cyanobiphenyl). A …

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 …

The torsional motion of a molecule composed of two substituted benzene rings, linked by a
single bond, is coherently controlled by a pair of strong (3× 1 0 13 W cm− 2), nonresonant …

We illustrate, experimentally and theoretically, a laser-based method to control the rotations
of polyatomic molecules in 3D space. A linearly polarized nanosecond pulse strongly aligns …

It is demonstrated that strong laser pulses can introduce torsional motion in the axially chiral
molecule 3, 5-difluoro-3′, 5′-dibromobiphenyl. A nanosecond laser pulse spatially aligns …

In this chapter, we study the effects of optical fields of intermediate and high intensity on the
electron wavepacket dynamics that nonadiabatically couples with nuclear motions. In …

We demonstrate and analyze a strongly driven quantum pendulum in the angular motion of
state-selected and laser-aligned carbonyl sulfide molecules. Raman couplings during the …
