Preferred Label : photoselection;
IUPAC definition : Selection of an aligned subset of sample molecules by an exciting light beam. The
selected subset will have an orientation distribution that is determined by the electric
vector of the beam. If the beam is linearly polarized a uniaxial sample with a known
orientation distribution will be produced. Also, the set of remaining molecules will
be aligned with a known orientation distribution (residual anisotropy).;
