Coherent spin–rotational dynamics of oxygen superrotors

We use state- and time-resolved coherent Raman spectroscopy to study the rotational dynamics of oxygen molecules in ultra-high rotational states. While it is possible to reach rotational quantum numbers up to $N\approx 50$ by increasing the gas temperature to 1500 K, low population levels and gas de...
