摘要
Recently, different approaches have been implemented to detect single molecules with an optical dipole out of the sample plane. Principles to solve this problem of general interest have been laid but no detailed analysis has been performed to date. This paper is devoted to a quantitative analysis of the dipole orientation of out of plane molecules that we have detected by amplitude and phase masking of the input beam. The accuracy of the orientation is discussed.
