研究目的
Investigating the all-optical field-free three-dimensional orientation of asymmetric-top molecules using phase-locked cross-polarized two-color laser pulses.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates all-optical field-free three-dimensional orientation of asymmetric-top molecules using phase-locked OTC laser pulses. This method opens new avenues for controlling molecular orientation and has potential applications in molecular imaging and stereodynamics.
研究不足
The technique is currently demonstrated on SO2 molecules and may require optimization for other asymmetric-top molecules. The degree of orientation achieved is relatively low and could be enhanced by optimizing laser parameters.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment uses phase-locked cross-polarized two-color laser pulses to induce molecular orientation via nonlinear optical mixing.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
SO2 molecules at a rotational temperature of 18 K are used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Ti:sapphire laser system, β-barium borate (β-BBO) crystal for second harmonic generation, and a COLTRIMS setup for imaging.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The OTC pulse is focused on a supersonic molecular beam, and a probe pulse images the molecular orientation via Coulomb explosion.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The angular distribution of fragment ions is analyzed to determine molecular orientation.
