description

Abstract The time-resolved intensity of dispersed laser induced fluorescence following the Ar + -laser D 1 Π←X 1 Σ + excitation was measured for both 23 Na 85 Rb and 23 Na 87 Rb isotopomers in a thermal cell. Spontaneous radiative lifetime values determined for v ′ ( J ′ ) rovibronic levels of the D 1 Π state in the v ′ range from 0 to 17 and J ′ from 8 to 131 varied from 22.5 to 17.3 ns. Averaged collisional quenching cross-section values of (3–6)×10 −14 cm 2 were obtained for NaRb (D 1 Π, v ′ , J ′ ) + Rb collisions from the Stern–Volmer plots.
