21. ⊥). This is strongly dependent on the direction of the emission transition dipole moment μ in the molecular frame. For a prolate rotor with μ parallel to the symmetry axis the alignment dynamics solely involve the perpendicular diffusion rate. These considerations are discussed in Paper II Sec. I for the probe molecules used in this work.
