      abstract     = {Fixing molecules in space is a crucial step for the imaging
                      of molecular structure and dynamics. Here, we demonstrate
                      three-dimensional (3D) field-free alignment of the
                      prototypical asymmetric top molecule indole using
                      elliptically polarized, shaped, off-resonant laser pulses. A
                      truncated laser pulse is produced using a combination of
                      extreme linear chirping and controlled phase and amplitude
                      shaping using a spatial-light-modulator (SLM) based pulse
                      shaper of a broadband laser pulse. The angular confinement
                      is detected through velocity-map imaging of H$^+$ and
                      C$^{2+}$ fragments resulting from strong-field ionization
                      and Coulomb explosion of the aligned molecules by intense
                      femtosecond laser pulses. The achieved three-dimensional
                      alignment is characterized by comparing the result of
                      ion-velocity-map measurements for different alignment
                      directions and for different times during and after the
                      alignment laser pulse to accurate computational results. The
                      achieved strong three-dimensional field-free alignment of
                      $\langle \cos^{2}\delta \rangle=0.89$ demonstrates the
                      feasibility of both, strong three-dimensional alignment of
                      generic complex molecules and its quantitative
