Enhancing molecular orientation by combining electrostatic and four-color laser fields

We propose a scheme to enhance molecular orientation by combing an intense electrostatic field and a four-color laser field. We show that molecular orientation by the combined field can be obtained under a laser-field-free condition, and the maximal orientation degree can be enhanced by comparing with the sum of that individually created by the electrostatic field and the four-color laser field. Our results show that the orientation enhancement results from the larger asymmetry of the four-color laser field because of the existence of the electrostatic field. Furthermore, we also discuss the dependence of the orientation enhancement on the carrier-envelope phase, laser intensity, and pulse duration of the four-color laser field and the molecular rotational temperature.
