Abstract
The results of nonlinear Raman experiments on two intermolecular bands of expansion-cooled naphthalene trimer at 0.03 cm−1 resolution are reported. The polarization and intensity dependences of the observed band contours strongly indicate that the observations pertain to transitions between pendular states that result from the interaction of a strong optical field and the permanent polarizability anisotropy of the trimer.Keywords
