79. On the other hand, the local effective dipole moments of the neighboring states [dashed lines in Fig.] are reduced by these crossings. At an avoided crossing, the two levels that are involved "exchange" their effective dipole moments. For large asymmetric top molecules, many avoided crossings can lead to a complicated shape of the adiabatic Stark curve and a strongly varying effective dipole moment with the electric field strength.
80. In principle, deflection of the quantum states that are coincidentally polar for the range of electric field strengths in the deflector could be reduced by operating the deflector at a different high voltage. However, due to the large number of quantum states populated and the resulting large number of avoided crossings, other quantum states might be conincidentally polar for these operation conditions.
