Abstract

Accurate absolute level energies of the B1Σu+B\,^1\Sigma^{+}_{u}, v=08,Nv=0-8, N and EF1Σg+EF\,^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g}, v=021,Nv=0-21, N rovibrational quantum states of molecular deuterium are derived by combining results from a Doppler-free two-photon laser excitation study on several lines in the EF1Σg+X1Σg+EF\,{}^{1}\Sigma_{g}^{+}-X\,{}^{1}\Sigma_{g}^{+} (0,0) band, with results from a Fourier-transform spectroscopic emission study on a low-pressure hydrogen discharge. Level energy uncertainties as low as 0.0005 cm1^{-1} are obtained for some low-lying E1Σg+E\,^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g} inner-well rovibrational levels, while uncertainties for higher-lying rovibrational levels and those of the F1Σg+F\,^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g} outer-well states are nominally 0.005 cm1^{-1}. Level energies of B1Σu+B\,^1\Sigma^{+}_{u} rovibrational levels, for v8v \leq 8 and N10N \leq 10 are determined at an accuracy of 0.001 cm1^{-1}. Computed wavelengths of D2_2 Lyman transitions in the B1Σu+X1Σg+B\,^1\Sigma^{+}_{u}-X\,^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g} (v,0v,0) bands are also tabulated for future applications.
