Relative Transition Probabilities in the A-X System of OD,
Abstract
In the fashion of a previous study on the OH molecule, branching ratios for emission from the zeroth, first, and second vibrational levels of the A-doublet-sigma-plus state of OD have been measured using frequency doubled tunable dye laser excitation. The six independent ratios so obtained are used to assess calculations incorporating an electronic transition moment varying linearly with internuclear distance, a form judged superior from the OH work. Calculations of the rotational dependence of the transition probabilities in OD, and comments on some recent OH investigations are included. (Author)
