We propose a simple mathematical model for the photo-orientation of molecules adsorbed on a surface and with one rotational degree of freedom. We analyze the general properties of the kinetics and we illustrate them by numerical simulations. We provide some useful relationships between the parameters characterizing the process and the anisotropy of the sample.
