A sample having a plurality of probe molecules is illuminated with at least one beam of excitation light that is linearly polarized along a first axis, thereby effecting fluorescence emission in a plurality of spectral bands. The intensity of a first component of fluorescence emission that is polarized along the first axis, as well as the intensity of a second component of fluorescence emission that is polarized along an orthogonal second axis, is measured for each of said plurality of spectral bands. These measurements are represented as a measurement vector M. Since each probe emits some limited amount of light in the characteristic band of another probe, this results in cross-talk between probes. The measurement vector is therefore corrected using an instrument response matrix A, which is generated by measuring the flux output of control samples which each have only a single probe species. A flux vector S is calculated according to S=A.sup.-1M, and the fluorescence polarization FP is calculated from the S values.

More particularly, the present invention provides a vector control method which can accurately and efficiently estimate cosine and sine signals, being rotation signals for the vector rotators.A flux vector estimator 12a uses voltage and current information of a stator to estimate a stator flux vector by dividing it into an in-phase flux vector having the same direction as a current vector and a mirror-phase flux vector determined as a difference between the stator flux vector and the in-phase flux vector. A cosine and sine generator 12b uses the estimated in-phase and mirror-phase flux vectors to generate the cosine and sine values of an intermediate angle of the angles of such flux vectors and outputs a rotation signal of the vector rotators. Thus, vector control is established.
