Photoassociative excitation spectroscopy of excimer molecules

Laser excitation spectroscopy of transitions having dissociative ground states was explored as a tool for the study of excimer molecules. Since the repulsive nature of the ground state constrains collision pairs to large internuclear transitions, bound $\gets$ free excitation spectra contain more structure than the bound $\to$ free fluorescence spectra for the same molecules, therefore containing more information about the potential surfaces. Unique properties of the photoassociative excitation spectroscopy technique are described which allow the dependence of the dipole transition moment on the internuclear separation (μ(R)) to be extracted in a very direct manner.
