Abstract
Direct experimental evidence is presented for the formation of aligned states of the linear triatomic molecules ${\mathrm{CO}}_{2}$ and ${\mathrm{CS}}_{2}$; manifestation of pendular motion is obtained in high-resolution measurements of the angular distributions of fragments produced by an intense laser-field--molecule interaction. Classical calculations of the dissociation dynamics on an excited-state potential-energy surface yield results that qualitatively reproduce our experimental observations. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
