Atomic Physics 2025-01-13 v1 Chemical Physics

Abstract

The polarisation labelling spectroscopy technique was applied to study the C1Πu^1\Pi_{\mathrm{u}} \leftarrow X1Σg+^1\Sigma^{+}_{\mathrm{g}} band system in potassium dimer. About 1100 new rotationally resolved molecular lines were measured in the 221002410022100-24100~cm1^{-1} spectral range. Perturbations of the lowest vibrational levels of the C state were localised and their origin discussed. A set of Dunham coefficients was deduced to fit the unperturbed levels of the C1Πu^1\Pi_{\mathrm{u}} state with 0v380 \le v \le 38 and 18J10118 \le J \le 101 and the potential energy curve of the state was constructed.
