Abstract

Collision cross section for transfer of anisotropy arising from collisions between electronically excited sodium dimer and ground level argon atoms has been examined. The experimental method is based on a polarization spectroscopy using a sophisticated resonant cw-pump-stimulated emission probe technique. Measurement of polarization from analysis of the emitted light is a very powerful method gaining information about the inelastic collision process between the electronically excited molecules and other collision partners. From the measurement, anisotropy-dependent polarization spectra of the Na$^*_2$ with Ar has been investigated.\footnote{The author gratefully acknowledges financial support from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. NSF-PHY-1309571).}
