N2 - Low pressure CO2 gas is subjected to polarized CO2 laser pulses. The distribution of the magnetic sublevels of the rotational excited state is non thermal. The thermalization of the initial system is observed by detecting the 4.3 μ fluorescence emissions at two directions, parallel and perpendicular to the laser polarization field. The dealignment rate constant has been found to be: (3.0 ± 1) × 107 s-1 torr-1.
