title: Dependences of Q-branch integrated intensity of linear-molecule pendular spectra on electric-field strength and rotational temperature and its potential applications.
abstract: We calculate the pendular-state spectra of cold linear molecules, and investigated the dependences of "Q-branch" integrated intensity of pendular spectra on both electric-field strength and molecular rotation-temperature. A new multi-peak structure in the "Q-branch" spectrum is appearing when the Stark interaction strength ω = μE/B equal to or larger than the critical value. Our study shows that the above results can be used not only to measure the electric-field vector and its spatial distribution in some electrostatic devices, such as the Stark decelerator, Stark velocity filter and electrostatic trap and so on, but also to survey the orientation degree of cold linear molecules in a strong electrostatic field.
