Photodissociation of jet-cooled NOCl at 355 and 499.4 nm proceeds via parallel and perpendicular transitions, respectively, and the dissociation is fast and direct. State-specific NO spin-orbit and A-doublet population ratios are observed. At 355 nm, [ NO( \*II& ] a [N0(2111,2) 1, and the Adoublet c

✦ Synopsis
By applying two separate experimental methods the parity of the two components of the n-doublet of the X 211,,z ground state ofN0 is determined. In the first method the assignment is made by simultaneously measuring one-and two-photon laser induced fluorescence spectra of the A *E+ state and applying the appropriate selection rules. In the second setup hexapole focusing and resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) are combined. The upper component of the A-doublet is focused by the hexapole and the total parity of this state is assigned by detection with REMPI. again using the A'Z*tX 211,,z transition. Both methods show that the upper component of the n-doublet of the X 2n,,2 (u=O, .I=O.S) state ofN0 has negative total parity. This assignment supports theoretical results obtained from a perturbation analysis by de Vivie and Peyerimhoff who have calculated that G ?-acts as the major contributor to the A-doublet splitting.

CH(A \*A-X %) emission was observed following multiple photon dissociation of ketene with an ArF laser. For rotational levels with N' from 14 to 19 the symmetric A component of the emission had higher intensity than the antisymmetric and the opposite was observed for levels with N' between 20 and 23
