  We demonstrate strong adiabatic laser alignment and mixed-field orientation
at kHz repetition rates. We observe degrees of alignment as large as
cos\Theta=0.94 at 1 kHz operation for iodobenzene. The experimental setup
consist of a kHz laser system simultaneously producing pulses of 30 fs (1.3 mJ)
and 450 ps (9 mJ). A cold 1 K state-selected molecular beam is produced at the
same rate by appropriate operation of an Even-Lavie valve. Quantum state
selection has been obtained using an electrostatic deflector. A camera and data
acquisition system records and analyzes the images on a single-shot basis. The
system is capable of producing, controlling (translation and rotation) and
analyzing cold molecular beams at kHz repetition rates and is, therefore,
ideally suited for the recording of ultrafast dynamics in so-called "molecular
movies".
