Popis: The yield of high harmonic generation with N2 and O2 molecules is enhanced when the molecules are aligned parallel to the laser field that produces the harmonics and suppressed for the perpendicular case, compared to randomly oriented molecules. The alignment is produced via creation of a rotational molecular wave packet with a non-ionizing 800-nm, 60-fs Ti:Sa pulse and probed at its revival via high harmonic generation with a delayed intense 800-nm, 30-fs pulse.
