electronic states of the Rb 2 85 dimer. In the experiment, rovibrational levels of the two
electronic states were probed using the perturbation facilitated optical-optical double
resonance technique by exciting Rb 2 85 molecules from thermally populated levels of the
ground X Σ g+ 1 state through intermediate levels of the mixed A Σ u+ 1∼ b Π u 3 electronic
states. The resonances of the probe laser were observed by detecting the laser induced …
