Abstract

The high-resolution infrared spectrum of magnesium oxide is reported. The oxide was produced by a low-pressure discharge-enhanced reaction between hot magnesium vapor and nitrous oxide. Fifteen rovibrational transitions of the fundamental band and seven transitions of the first hot band of MgO(X 1Σ +) were detected with tunable diode lasers. The infrared transitions were combined with data from previous microwave and optical studies to yield precise spectroscopic constants for the X 1Σ + and B 1Σ + states of MgO.
