Laser-interrogated dichroic spectroscopy

The authors of [297] have presented the most consistent classical approach for the description of the polarization of a molecular gas by a strong light wave. The basic and principal difference between the methods of polarization spectroscopy and laser probing of dichroism consists of the fact that polarization spectroscopy demands the application of monochromatic single-frequency radiation, whilst probing of dichroism is based on the employment of a broad spectral irradiation. 

For quantitative analysis of the expected signals it is convenient to apply the methods of matrix optics [167]. Then, as is shown in [31], the intensity I of the Signal, which has passed through the analyzer in the process of probing by light with Epr, may be found
