摘要

We show that two trains of half-cycle pulses (HCPs) with different amplitudes irradiating alternately on polar molecules can achieve a remarkable enhancement of field-free orientation compared with the case of an equal amplitude HCPs train for the same pulse separation. This kind of orientation enhancements is mainly due to an optimal adjustment of the population distribution on every Geld-free angular momentum eigenstate, in which the populations on the undesired states of high angular momenta are effectively suppressed, and the populations on the desired states of low angular momenta are correspondingly promoted.
