Abstract

Two-photon transitions A 2Σ+ (ν′ = 0)-X2Π(ν″ = 0) of nitric oxide are investigated by high-resolution resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy. The underlying causes behind observed anomalous intensity features of these two-photon transitions are discussed. Several new lines produced by the three-photon transitions "L 2Π(ν = 4)-C 2Π(ν = 6)" -X 2Π(ν″ = 0) and K 2Π(ν = 1) -X 2Π(ν″ = 0) are assigned. The values for Tν and Bν of the K 2Π(ν = 1) state are determi 66350 cm-1 has been resolved. It is suggested that several lines with anomalous intensity on the O12 branch of the A 2Σ+ (ν′ = band should be interpreted as the result of an autoionization process rather than as the result of an accidental resonance of a third photon with rotational levels of the "L 2Π(ν = 4)-C 2Π(ν = 6) state as previously has been anticipated.
