We apply two different monotonically convergent optimization algorithms to the control of molecular rotational dynamics by laser pulses. This example represents a quantum control problem where the interaction of the system with the external field is non-linear. We test the validity and accuracy of the two methods on the key control targets of producing molecular orientation and planar delocalization at zero temperature, and maximizing permanent alignment at non-zero temperature.
