We review the theoretical and experimental status of intense laser alignment—a field at the
interface between intense laser physics and chemical dynamics with potential applications …

We review the theory of intense laser alignment of molecules and present a survey of the
many recent developments in this rapidly evolving field. Starting with a qualitative discussion …

The application of optical forces has allowed unprecedented control over the motion of
atoms leading to laser cooling and trapping and Bose–Einstein condensation. More …

Inspired by the spectacular successes in the field of cold atoms, there is currently great
interest in cold molecules. Cooling molecules is useful for various fundamental physics …

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin
scattering in gases in the kinetic regime. Gas density perturbation waves were generated by …

Precise control over the translational motion of atoms and molecules is important for a large
range of scientific and industrial processes. Applications range from surface growth and …

Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering in gases has been studied experimentally for the first
time in the kinetic regime and shown to give line shapes that differ significantly from the …

We study Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering in gases of N 2, O 2, and SF 6 molecules, Kr atoms,
and He-Xe and He-CO 2 mixtures at pressures ranging from 1 to 3 bar and using two …

We study the creation of stationary cold molecules by rapid deceleration of supersonically
cooled molecules in a high-intensity pulsed optical lattice. Using the heavy molecule I 2 as …
