Abstract
The use of tunable laser-induced fluorescence detection in the refocusing of polar molecules for state selection and measurement of ground state dipole moments will be described. Because of its quantum state selectivity, this molecular beam detector offers advantages over conventional detectors, including the ability to utilize the entire quadrupole aperture (i.e., no beam stops) and the insensitivity to beam constituents other than the molecule being refocused. As an example, results on a seeded supersonic beam of LiH, formed from a mixture of $H_{2}$ and Li, will be presented.
