From: Molecular alignment in degenerated dissociation channels in strong laser fields
Polar charts of measured angular distribution of N(1,1)slow [(b–d)] and N(1,1)fast [(e–g)] at different laser intensities: 2I 0 , 3I 0 , and 4I 0 , where I 0 = 1014 W/cm2. The magnitude of the data points is normalized to fit the window and for easy comparison by overlapping with other distribution profile, and therefore is in arbitrary units. The profile at 2I 0 is superimposed in each of the other profiles at 3I 0 and 4I 0 for each channel. The lower half of the data in each panel is mirrored from the upper half. (a) Illustration of the geometric configuration of the experimental setup. The TOF axis (i.e. the molecular axis) is vertical in this plane while the direction of laser polarization varies at angle θ with respect to the TOF axis in the same plane.
