description

The paper presents the study of the fully mixed A 1Σ+–b 3Π complex of the NaRb molecule based on high-resolution sub-Doppler spectroscopy and intensity measurements, ab initio relativistic calculations of energies, transition moments and spin–orbit interactions, as well as an inverted channel-coupling approach (ICCA) deperturbation analysis. A two-laser V-type pump–probe excitation scheme was employed to obtain A←X transition frequencies to 16 A-state vibrational levels from v=6 to v=21 with J from 8 to 23. Additionally, relative intensities in laser-induced A→X fluorescence spectra have been recorded, including progressions with all observable transitions to the ground state vibronic levels, the latter yielding unambiguous v assignment of the A-state levels observed. All experimental rovibronic term values and all measured intensity distributions were embedded in a direct simultaneous weighted nonlinear fitting in the framework of an elaborated ICCA allowing us to obtain deperturbed relativistic diabatic...
