The layered 2D-material MoTe$_2$ in the T$_d$ crystal phase is a semimetalwhich has theoretically been predicted to possess topologically non-trivialbands corresponding to Weyl fermions. Clear experimental evidence byangle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is, however, lacking, whichcalls for a careful examination of the relation between ground state bandstructure calculations and ARPES intensity plots. Here we report a study of thenear Fermi-energy band structure of MoTe$_2$(T$_d$) by means of ARPESmeasurements, density functional theory, and one-step-model ARPES calculations.Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained. We analyze theorbital character of the surface bands and its relation to the ARPESpolarization dependence. We find that light polarization has a major efect onwhich bands can be observed by ARPES. For s-polarized light, the ARPESintensity is dominated by subsurface Mo d orbitals, while p-polarized lightreveals the bands composed mainly derived from Te p orbitals. Suitable lightpolarization for observing either electron or hole pocket are determined
