Laser Spectroscopy of Ozone.
Abstract
Data have been obtained for the first time on the fluorescence spectrum of ozone in the Hartley continuum region. This type of data provides information for a new kind of spectroscopy with hitherto unprecedented capabilities for studying both ground state vibrational structure and excited state dissocation dynamics. From this data and theoretical models, qualitative generalizations are made about the potential energy surface of the electronic state of the Hartley transition. Experiments have also been conducted to obtain the high resolution spectrum of some of the Huggins bands for jet-cooled ozone. An analysis of the partially resolved rotational structure of these bands indicates that the symmetry of the Huggins bands is the same as that for the Hartley continuum.
