Abstract
“Monochromatic polarized light was used to excite fluorescence in aromatic hydrocarbons dissolved in a rigid glass of propylene glyeol. The polarization of the resulting fluorescence was observed. When the transitions responsible for absorption and emission are not identical, the relative polarizations of the two transitions are obtained. In this way, the polarizations of the higher electronic transitions are directly observed for several representative aromatic hydrocarbon systems. Results are compared with theoretical predictions.”
