1. Project Description:

In this project, we simulate the molecular alignment process using intense near resonant and non-adiabatic laser. This codes take in the laser's parameters and the molecules's parameters, then output the distribution density on the polar angle between molecules and the laser. In addition, the codes also output the degree of alignment <cos^2 theta> at these distribution. This value lies between (0,1), the closer it gets to 1, the better the alignment process:

• <cos^2 theta> == 0: perpendicular alignment
• <cos^2 theta> == 1/3: equally alignment
• <cos^2 theta> == 1: parallel alignment

2. Requirements:

• numpy
• pandas
• matplotlib
• scipy
• json

3. Running the code:

• Change the parameters in the input.json file.
• Run pip install -r requirements in order to install the requirements packages
• Run python mole_align.py to run the alignment process.
