title: Giant enhancement of photodissociation of polar diatomic molecules in electric fields.
abstract: We explore the photodissociation of polar diatomic molecules in static electric fields in the rotationally cold regime using the example of the LiCs molecule. A giant enhancement of the differential cross section is found for laboratory electric field strengths, and analyzed with varying rovibrational bound states, continuum energies as well as field strengths.
