Abstract

Laser-induced-fluorescence (LDF) with polarization analysis is a powerful means of analysing angular momentum disposal in a chemical reaction. In many cases saturation effects can strongly perturb the information provided by the LIF signal on state populations and rotational angular momentum alignment. In this paper we extend a previous rate equation based treatment of LIF alignment analysis to cover most experimental configurations probing cylindrically symmetric anisotropic distributions produced by photodissociation and inelastic or reactive scattering processes.
