Abstract
The laser induced fluorescence of cesium dimers by the 476.5 nm radiation from an argon ion laser was examined at temperatures above $200^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $He, Ne, Ar$ and Kr. Besides the $Cs_{2}$ fluorescence bands, Cs - noble gas eximer emission is observed in addition to sharp satellite bands on the blue side of the Cs atom $D_{2}$ fluorescence. These latter bands are due to free-free transitions of the Cs - X systems, where $X = He, Ne, Ar, Kr$. The positions of the satelite bands are in agreement with predictions based upon the theoretical calculations of Cs - X potential curves for the electronic states corresponding to the transition.
