The selective control of population in the various degrees of freedom in molecules has opened the possibility for unprecedented understanding of reactive potential energy surfaces in gas phase chemical physics. While significant work has been dedicated to understanding, and controlling, the vibrational and translational degrees of molecular freedom, far less attention has been paid to the direct molecular control of rotational energy. In part, this is due to the quantum mechanical selection rules that govern rotational excitation. In this talk an optical molecular centrifuge has been developed and used for extreme rotational excitation of molecules. Coherence beating and energy transfer processes of these super-rotors are followed through coherent nonlinear scattering of the evolving rotational wavepacket.
