摘要
We have analysed angular distributions of the photoelectron yields arising from strong-field ionization of diatomic and polyatomic linear molecules using a leading-order intense-field S-matrix theory. For molecules with active pi electrons the distribution is found to strongly depend on the degree of molecular alignment, showing a nodal minimum along the laser polarization direction as a characteristic signature.
