摘要
Rotational dynamics of D-2 molecules inside helium nanodroplets is induced by a moderately intense femtosecond pump pulse and measured as a function of time by recording the yield of HeD+ ions, created through strong-field dissociative ionization with a delayed femtosecond probe pulse. The yield oscillates with a period of 185 fs, reflecting field-free rotational wave packet dynamics, and the oscillation persists for more than 500 periods. Within the experimental uncertainty, the rotational constant B-He of the in-droplet D-2 molecule, determined by Fourier analysis, is the same as B-gas for an isolated D-2 molecule. Our observations show that the 132 molecules inside helium nanodroplets essentially rotate as free D-2 molecules.
