✦ Synopsis


The high-resolution infrared spectrum of magnesium oxide 1s reported. The oxide was produced by a low-pressure dischargeenhanced reaction between hot magnesium vapor and nitrous oxide. Fifteen rovlbrational transitions of the fundamental band and seven transitions of the first hot band of MgO (X 'Z-) were detected with tunable diode lasers. The infrared transitions were combined with data from previous microwave and optical studies to yield precise spectroscopic constants for the X 'Z+ and El 'Z+ states of MgO.
