Phys. Rev. A 78, 033407 (2008) [9 pages]Laser-assisted orientation-dependent selection of molecules as a tool of symmetry breaking in isotropic molecular ensemblesReceived 10 June 2008; revised 14 July 2008; published 10 September 2008 A method for coherent laser control of randomly oriented molecules at high temperatures (up to room temperature) is suggested, which rests on the technique proposed by us earlier of laser-assisted orientation-dependent selection (ODS) [ Phys. Rev. A 77 011401R (2008)]. It is shown that the ODS is of practical importance for the problem of field-free orientation of molecules. The efficacy of the method is justified by simulations of the photoinduced dynamics of BF molecules via direct numerical solution of the nonstationary Schrödinger equation. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
