Abstract
An electric dipole placed in an anisotropic medium experiences a torque due to the induced polarization of the medium. The torque tends to align the dipole in the appropriate direction determined by the medium properties. Here we present simple quantitative theory of this effect and predict splitting of the emission spectrum lines of the elementary quantum emitter in an anisotropic environment due to the self-induced torque.
