Abstract
Optical Microwave Double Resonance (OMDR) experiments were performed on the $BO_{2}$ radical in the gas phase. Single mode argon ion laser radiation at 5145 {\AA} and high power microwaves with 2-3 GHz frequency were used producing double resonance signals from the radical. The laser excites the R(7) rotational line of the (110) $^{2}\Sigma^{+}_{g} \leftarrow (010) ^{2}\Sigma^{-}_{\mu}$ vibronic transition from the $^{2}\Pi_{\mu}$ ground state to the $^{2}\Pi_{g}$ excited state. The microwave transitions responsible for the double resonance signals are magnetic dipole transitions among the Zeeman sublevels of the J = 7 1/2 level of the ground state. Two microwave transitions, $(M^{\prime}_{j} = - 4\ 1/2) \leftarrow (M^{\prime\prime}_{j} = - 5 1/2)$ and $(M^{\prime}_{j} = - 3 1/2) \leftarrow (M^{\prime\prime}_{j} = - 4 1/2)$ are identified. Thorough investigation of the Renner effect was carried out.
