Abstract
Fluorescence spectra of the CeO molecule have been obtained using a chemiluminescent Ce + O 2 flame and both argon and cw dye lasers. Spectra obtained with the 488.0 and 514.5-nm lines of an argon laser are shown to contain vibrational progressions of the D 3(5)- X 3(4) and C 1(3)- X 1(2) transitions, respectively. (In labeling the states, the letter and subscript refer to a specific electronic state or substate, and the number in parentheses is Ω .) Analysis of these spectra has led to a determination of vibrational constants for the X 1 state, and the separation of the two lowest vibrational levels in the C 1, D 3, and X 3 states. Transitions to several additional electronic states have also been observed.
