Prof. Yehiam Prior delivered a presentation entitled by “Molecular Manipulation by Ultrafast Laser Pulses” . In his talk, he reviewed molecular alignment and control, and discussed selective excitation of like species. The creation of unidirectional molecular rotation by a sequence of laser pulses and its observation by the rotational Doppler effect was also described. After presentation, he visited Joint Laboratory of High Power Laser Physics and State Key Laboratory of High Field Laser Physics. He had deep academic discussions with Prof. Peng Liu and the other related  researchers in the laboratory.

Prof. Yehiam Prior is a very famous researcher in ISRAEL. His group at the Department of Chemical Physics at the Weizmann Institute of Science studies various aspects of light matter interaction and nonlinear laser spectroscopy.
