Transient Alignment of Distinct $l$-Doubling Populations via Centrifugal Distortion Precompensation

Author(s): Inbar Sternbach, Kfir Rutman Moshe, Amit Beer, Soumitra Hazra, and Sharly Fleischer We experimentally demonstrate a coherent-control scheme for precompensation of centrifugal distortion using shaped femtosecond laser pulses. By imposing a cubic spectral phase on the excitation pulse [Y. Huang et al., Phys. Rev. A 107, 053108 (2023)], rotational revivals that would otherwise become… [Phys. Rev.
