摘要
The non-sinusoidal modulation of the photo-elastic modulator used for measurements of the linear dichroism in absorption-detected magnetic resonance (LD-AMDR) causes an experimental error in determining the angles of the triplet spin-sublevel axes relative to the optical dipole transition moment that can be be as large as 20 degrees. We have obtained an analytical correction for this error. The error analysis was applied to LD-ADMR experiments on the carotenoidless mutant R26 of Rhodobacter (Rb.) sphaeroides. The corrected angles of the triplet x- and y-axis with respect to the optical transition dipole moment at 896 nm of R26 are 86 degrees +/- 4 degrees and 22 degrees +/- 3 degrees, respectively.
