We show how to extract the energy- and coordinate dependence of dipole-moments for a neutral-to-ionic molecular transition from time-resolved photoelectron spectra. The procedure needs the potential surfaces of the neutral and the cationic state which are involved in the ionization process as an input. Given these potentials and the laser parameters it is possible to determine the functional form of the transition dipole moment from the measured time- and energy-resolved transient signals.
