Asymptotic model for shape resonance control of diatomics by intense non-resonant light: universality in the single-channel approximation
(2015)
Non-resonant light interacting with diatomics via the polarizability anisotropy couples different
rotational states and may lead to strong hybridization of the motion. The modification of shape
resonances and low-energy scattering states due to this interaction can be fully captured by an
asymptotic model, based on the long-range properties of the scattering (Crubellier et al 2015 New J.
Phys. 17 045020). Remarkably, the properties of the field-dressed shape resonances in this asymptotic
multi-channel description ...

Asymptotic model for shape resonance control of diatomics by intense non-resonant light
(2015)
We derive a universal model for atom pairs interacting with non-resonant light via the polarizability
anisotropy, based on the long range properties of the scattering. The corresponding dynamics can be
obtained using a nodal line technique to solve the asymptotic Schrödinger equation. It consists of
imposing physical boundary conditions at long range and vanishing the wavefunction at a position
separating the inner zone and the asymptotic region. We show that nodal lines which depend on the
intensity of the ...

Femtosecond wavepacket interferometry using the rotational dynamics of a trapped cold molecular ion
(2015)
A Ramsey-type interferometer is suggested, employing a cold trapped ion and two time-delayed offresonant
femtosecond laser pulses. The laser light couples to the molecular polarization anisotropy,
inducing rotational wavepacket dynamics. An interferogram is obtained from the delay dependent
populations of the final field-free rotational states. Current experimental capabilities for cooling and
preparation of the initial state are found to yield an interferogram visibility of more than 80%. The
interferograms can ...
