| Research Abstract |
This study was conducted to demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the idea that cascaded excitation of molecular internal states should bring a breakthrough in isotope separation. In the theoretical studies, it was more than expected that we were able to propose the concept of “isotope-selective heating” which can be realized by optical frequency comb. In the experimental studies, efficient cascaded excitation of molecular rotation has been demonstrated. On the other hand, isotope selectivity in the cascaded excitation has not yet confirmed at the end of this project.
