Abstract

A continuous wave (cw) tunable single mode laser beam was propagated perpendicular to a collimated effusive molecular beam of NaI, and the excitation spectra of the A0+(v′,J′)−X 1Σ+(v″,J″) transitions of the NaI molecule were measured by monitoring the intensity of the molecular fluorescence. A large variation of the linewidth and line intensity with the rotational quantum number J was observed. The linewidths of rotationally resolved lines, attributable to lifetime broadening originating from predissociation, were obtained by a fitting of the observed spectral line shape to a Voigt profile.
