A generalization of Jefferies et al’s weak-field approximation for the inference of the strength and polar angle of magnetic field vectors from Stokes profiles is obtained while the inference of azimuthal angle follows a relationship derived by Landi Degl’Innocenti’s perturbative solutions to the transfer equations in which the magneto-optical effect is taken account. It is found that the weak-field condition (ΔλH / ΔλD ≤1) is not necessary for the new method when the fitting is done in the line wings.
