✦ Synopsis
The high-resolution two-photon absorption spectrum of the % 'A, (000) +3po 'Z 7 (000) system in NO1 shows rotational fine structure characteristic of a bent-to-linear transition. This structure is well tit by a simple Hamiltonian incorporating an upper state rotational constant B,.=O.419 +O.OOl cm-' and a spin-rotation coupling constant y=O. 15Ok 0.005 cm-I. These parameters evidence a somewhat contracted Rydberg core NO bond length of 1.126 k 0.002 A with moderate Rydberg electron-core interaction.
