Description:
Author(s): Johannes Floß and Ilya Sh. Averbukh We describe a universal behavior of linear molecules excited by a periodic train of short laser pulses under quantum resonance conditions. In a rigid rotor, the resonance causes an unlimited ballistic growth of the angular momentum. We show that the centrifugal distortion of rotating molecules event... [Phys. Rev.
