An optical--optical double resonance technique using a multiphoton ionization detection scheme is employed to study the disalignment (collisional redistribution of M/sub J/ levels) of state selected NO A /sup 2/..sigma../sup +/ (v' = 0, J' = 4 1/2) upon collisions with Xe, N/sub 2/, NO, CO/sub 2/, and CHF/sub 3/. Cross sections for M/sub J/ -changing collisions are estimated from two-color polarization measurements as a function of the pressure of the perturbing gas.
