Dynamics of Molecules in Extreme Rotational States made in an Optical Centrifuge

Molecules are made in extreme rotational states with oriented angular momentum using a tunable optical centrifuge. A tunable optical centrifuged is based on combining shaped ultrafast laser pulses with controllable bandwidth. The structure and dynamics of the centrifuged molecules are investigated with high-resolution transient IR absorption spectroscopy.  Recent results will be presented on the spectroscopy of high-J molecules, their orientation anisotropy and collisional relaxation dynamics and their bimolecular chemical reactions.
