We present a study of the dissociation of CH3I on coupled repulsive electronic potential energy surfaces by the technique of polarized emission spectroscopy. We excite CH3I at 266 nm and disperse the photons emitted from the dissociating molecule by both frequency and angular distribution with respect to the polarization direction of the excitation laser. We thus measure the polarization of the first 12 C–I stretching emission features, corresponding to the spectral region between 266 and 317 nm. We also obtain the rotational envelope of selected emission features in higher resolution scans and model the lineshapes with parameters derived from the polarization results. The polarization measurements show the emission into the first few low‐lying C–I stretching vibrational levels is via a transition moment parallel to the absorbing one, consistent with excitation to and emission from the 3Q0(2A1) repulsive surface. Emission to higher C–I stretching overtones shows an increasing contribution from emission vi...
