Abstract
The photodissociation of RbI molecules upon exposure to polarized laser radiation with a wave-length of 266 nm is investigated. The anisotropy parameter β and the parameter ζ characterizing thermal motion of RbI molecules are determined by analyzing the Doppler absorption profiles of Rb atoms (52 S 1/2) formed through photodissociation of RbI molecules. The systematic error in determination of the parameter β due to the layer thickness is examined.Keywords
