We present new experiments and simulations of laser induc adiabatic alignment and orientation of Quantum-State-Selected carbonyl sulfide (OCS). We systematically investigated the effect of rotational quantum levels on the degree of alignment and orientation.

A molecular beam is formed in a supersonic expansion and deflected in a strong inhomogeneous electric field. The deflection strength is determined by the effective dipole moment and thus the molecular rotational quantum state. The molecular beam is crossed by two focused laser beams. One nanosecond alignment beam and one femtosecond Coulomb explosion probe beam. The adiabatic laser alignment and mixed static field and laser orientation is investigated as a function of position in the molecular beam and thus as a function of the selected rotational states. We also present simulations of the alignment and mixed field orientation for individual quantum states as well as the states present in the deflected beam as extracted from Monte-Carlo trajectory simulations of the deflection process.
