Laser-driven rotational dynamics of gas-phase molecules: control and applications

Doctor of Philosophy === Department of Physics === Vinod Kumarappan === In this thesis, our work on developing new techniques to measure and enhance field-free molecular alignment and orientation is described. Non-resonant femtosecond laser pulses are used to align and orient rotationally-cold gas-p...
