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 …

Spectroscopy aims at extracting information about matter through its interaction with light.
However, when performed on gas and liquid phases as well as solid phases lacking long …

We show that a dramatic field-free molecular alignment can be achieved after exciting
molecules with proper trains of strong ultrashort laser pulses. Optimal two-and three-pulse …

Semiclassical catastrophes in the dynamics of a quantum rotor (molecule) driven by a strong
time-varying field are considered. We show that for strong enough fields, a sharp peak in the …

We study molecular alignment by trains of strong, ultrashort laser pulses. Single-pulse
alignment is analyzed both in classical and quantum-mechanical regimes. Moreover, we …

A tutorial for calculating the response of molecules to electric and magnetic fields with
examples from research in ultracold physics, controlled chemistry, and molecular collisions …

We report an experimental demonstration of the three-dimensional orientation of gas-phase
molecules by applying the combination of an electrostatic and an elliptically polarized laser …

Numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for one-electron two-
dimensional H 2+, H 3 2+ molecular ions have been obtained in order to illustrate the …

We present a new extension of the UKRmol electron–molecule scattering code suite, which
allows one to compute ab initio photoionization and photorecombination amplitudes for …

We investigate the switching dynamics in a PT-symmetric fiber coupler composed of a
saturable nonlinear material as the core. In such a saturable nonlinear medium, bistable …
