摘要
We show that field-free molecular orientation induced by a half-cycle pulse may be considerably enhanced by an additional laser pulse inducing molecular antialignment. Two qualitatively different enhancement mechanisms are identified, depending on the pulse order, and their effects are optimized with the help of quasiclassical as well as fully quantum models.
