A Study of the Polarization of Fluorescence of Ordered Systems With Application to Ordered Liquid Crystals.

Abstract
The fluorescence polarization of uniaxial molecules dissolved in an ordered medium is studied. A theoretical model is developed which relates the polarization of the fluorescence emission to molecular structure, orientation of absorption and emission dipole oscillators and the degree of ordering. This theory was tested experimentally using all trans 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene dissolved in an ordered liquid crystal.
