Abstract: | The determination of the rotational quadrupole alignment of diatomic molecules via REMPI detection is investigated. In this process a high focal intensity usually increases the detection probability. At high
intensities the AC Stark effect may cause a splitting of the normally degenerate mJ sublevels of a rotational state J beyond the spectral width of the exciting radiation. This leads to a selective detection of only certain mJ states with the consequence that deduced alignment factors can be misleading. From the theoretical considerations line profiles
are explicitly calculated for dynamic polarizabilities which represent the B

g transition of H2, in order to fit an experimental (3+1) REMPI spectrum and to predict (1+1') line shapes as a function of laser intensity.
It is further shown that the deduced quadrupole alignment factor

(2) is significantly changed by the second order AC Stark effect when the intensities are chosen high enough to observe asymmetric
broadened line profiles. Different combinations of relative linear polarizations of the exciting and ionizing laser beams
are discussed.
