Description

Accurate measurements of the polarization of resonance Raman scattered light from a molecular defect have been made using a combination of polarization modulation and photon counting techniques. A systematic method of least squares analysis of data so obtained is presented. The method is applied to the metastable O2* molecule in γ-irradiated sodium chlorate. The results have permitted the determination of the directions of maximum polarizability and absorption of the defect
