摘要
We report an experimental demonstration of the three-dimensional orientation of gas-phase molecules by applying the combination of an electrostatic and an elliptically polarized laser field. Three-dimensional orientation was verified using a technique in which two-dimensional ion imaging and time-of-flight mass spectrometry are complementarily used.
