Franck-Condon Factors for the B-X System of Diatomic Sulfur

Abstract

A frequency doubled tunable dye laser has been used to selectively excite individual vibrational levels within v=2 and 6-9 of the B-state of diatomic sulfur. Measurements of the intensity in emission of all the terms returning to ground state vibrational levels permit the determination of absolute Franck-Condon factors. Combined with previous studies, this work completes the set of Franck-Condon factors for bound-bound transitions within the B-X system.
