Echo-assisted impulsive alignment of room-temperature acetone molecules

We experimentally and theoretically investigate the field-free alignment of the asymmetric-top acetone molecule. Our study shows that the production of postpulse aligned molecules in dense samples (0.05–0.2 bar) of room-temperature acetone using a single-pulse excitation can be significantly improve...
