High-Resolution Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of (14)N(2): Analysis of the (1-0), (2-1) Bands of the B(3)Pi(g)-W(3)Delta(u) System.
The extension of high-resolution observation of the electronic emission spectrum of (14)N(2) toward the infrared domain is presented. To date, rotational analysis of the widely investigated spectrum of the N(2) molecule was done in a spectral domain ranging from 2500 cm(-1) to the UV. We have recorded for the first time the infrared part of the (14)N(2) spectrum from 1250 to 2250 cm(-1), using the Fourier transform spectrometer of Laboratoire de Photophysique Moléculaire (LPPM) at an unapodized resolution of 0.0043 cm(-1). A complete rotational analysis is performed for the (1 --> 0), (2 --> 1), (0 <-- 1), (1 <-- 2) bands of the B(3)Pi(g)-W(3)Delta(u) system, not included in any previous analysis. Spectroscopic parameters for the v = 0, v = 1, v = 2 levels of the B(3)Pi(g) and the W(3)Delta(u) states, consistent with those previously reported but with improved accuracy, are obtained from the experimental wavenumbers by a nonlinear least-squares procedure.
