title: Dynamic properties of angle-dependent high-order harmonic generation from coherently rotating molecules.
abstract: High-order harmonic generation from coherently rotating N2 and O2 molecules has been observed for different alignment angles in a pump and probe experiment using femtosecond laser pulses. The results obtained are in excellent agreement with those calculated using a recently developed theory, which represent the characteristic properties predicted for angle-dependent harmonic generation. It is shown that polarization geometry and alignment distribution play essential roles in potential applications to probe electronic structure and dynamics of molecular systems.
