Photoexcitation of NO at 1576 Angstroem

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.448180

An accidental resonance between the 1576.299 Angstroem line of the F2 laser and the Q11 (7.5) line in the B' ²Δ - X² Π 3-0 band of NO provides a means of generating intense emission in three NO transitions-B ' ²Δ X²Π, and B ' ²Δ-B²Π, and B²Π- X²Π.By accessing a particular B ' ²Δ level in this manner, state-to-state kinetics involving a variety of high electronic states of NO can be easily studied.These include the H' E, D, C, B, and A states.The s ecific nature of the rocess makes it possible to use the emission as an unambiguous measure of laser power and also as a technique for detecting small amounts of NO.Observations can be made at wavelengths from the vacuum UV to the visible, and intercalibration between UV and visible bands result in a branching ratio of 155 for emission from NO(B ' ²Δ) to the X²Π and B²Π states.
