Abstract

A new and efficient method for orientation echo spectroscopy is presented and realized experimentally. The excitation scheme utilizes concerted rotational excitations by both ultrashort terahertz and near-IR pulses and its all-optical detection is enabled by the molecular orientation-induced second harmonic method [J. Phys. Chem. A 126, 3732 (2022)]. This method provides practical means for orientation echo spectroscopy of gas phase molecules and highlights the intriguing underlying physics of coherent rotational dynamics induced by judiciously-orchestrated interactions with both resonant (terahertz) and nonresonant (NIR) fields.
