Abstract

Fluorescence lifetimes of NO B2Π12(v' = 7) and B2Π32(v' =7)-C2Π(v' =0) mixed states were measured in a free jet using pulsed tunable VUV laser light. The measured lifetimes of the B2Π12 state were 389 and 423 ns for J' =0.5 and 1.5, respectively. It was found that lifetimes of the mixed states below the dissociation limit were substantially influenced by the mixing properties of the B and C states, whereas those above the dissociation limit are short because of predissociation.
