Popis: BaO molecules were sequentially excited by collinearly propagating radiation from two cw lasers, an argon ion laser (488.0 and 496.5‐nm lines) and a tunable (560–630 nm) rhodamine 6G dye laser. This sequential excitation technique, called optical–optical double resonance (OODR), is a special case of two‐photon spectroscopy in which two visible or uv wavelength photons of different frequencies resonantly excite a molecule from an initial level (v″,J″) to a final level (v*,J*) by way of a real intermediate level (v′,J′). Two types of optical double resonance experiments were performed on BaO. The first, excitation spectroscopy, revealed 19 vibronic levels of 1Σ+ electronic symmetry between 36 490 and 38 620 cm−1 above E (X 1Σ,re). These 19 1Σ+ levels belong to two or more perturbed electronic states. No 1Π levels were found, although levels belonging to the upper state of the BaO B (1Π) –X 1Σ Parkinson bands occur in this energy region. The second type of experiment, photoluminescence spectroscopy, enabled ...
