Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 187802 (2007) [4 pages]Resonance-Enhanced Optical Reorientation of Molecules in Liquids via Intermolecular InteractionReceived 16 August 2007; published 2 November 2007 Enhanced optical reorientation of molecules in a pure liquid was observed when the optical field was in resonance with the molecular electronic transition. The enhancement comes from photoinduced change in intermolecular interaction. Experimental results agree well with the time-dependent theory based on a mean-field model of intermolecular interaction. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
