The anisotropic orientation of the figure axis of pendular mols. is directly detected by polarization spectroscopy for ICl in the excited A 3P1 state.

Abstract
The anisotropic orientation of the figure axis of pendular mols. is directly detected by polarization spectroscopy for ICl in the excited A 3P1 state. A simple geometric model is outlined that simulates all spectral features over a wide range of exptl. parameters, without any fitting procedure. The exptl. technique, closely related to magnetic rotation spectroscopy, strongly favors low rotational states and is also selective for DJ within a rotational band. Spectra obtained using a gas cell at room temp. thereby become even sparser and simpler than can be attained by cooling mols. to a few kelvin. It provides a technique for local measurement of elec. or magnetic field strengths without mech. devices.
