Abstrakt: The recently developed STIRAP-technique (J. Chem. Phys. 92, 5363 (1990)) is applied to efficient population transfer and alignment of metastable Ne* atoms. Alignment parameters in the range −0.3≧ A≧−1.0 are observed. The degree of alignment can be controlled by changing the angle between the field vectors of the linearly polarized pump- and Stokes-lasers. The transfer efficiency depends also on this angle. The results of numerical calculations agree satisfactorily with the experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
