Abstract
The results of an earlier investigation by the authors [Phys. Rev. A 23 2553 (1981)] are extended to study the spectral features of the signals in the optical Hanle effect with regard to the various directions of observations and the polarizations of the emitted and the exciting radiation. The asymmetries in the spectra are found to be critically dependent on each of these parameters.
