The frequency- and polarization-resolved degenerate resonant four-wave mixing (DFWM)
spectra of the anisotropic states of the OH radicals produced by photolysis of H

were generated at the forward-box configuration with the photodissociation beam propagating
along the box axis OZ[1]. The double and triple correlations between the dipole moment m of the
dissociative transition in the parent molecule, the recoil velocity vand the angular momentum j
of nascent particles –the key characteristics of the reaction path –were the main objectives of
the study. To incorporate these correlations into a theoretical picture and to decouple the
polarization factors from the molecular properties, the line-space approach was advanced. As a
result, the DFWM intensities are expressed via the polarization factors, the Doppler-broadened
profiles and the Einstein B-c
