✦ Synopsis
Two-photon resonant multiphoton ionisation spectroscopy between 236 and 248 nm has been used to study the lowest D 'E-Rydberg state of the OH/OD radical. The origin bands for OH/OD have been observed and show strong unperturbed rotational structure, offering a sensitive detection technique for OH/OD radicals. The first vibrational level of D 'Z-has also been seen for OH, allowing the vibrational spacing of the upper state to be determined accurately.
