Abstract

We report an interesting spectrum of K2 excited by a narrow band ring-dye laser. The laser wavelength used (7425.77 {\AA}) coincides with two $A 1 Σ u + ← X 1 Σ g +$ transitions starting from the levels $v'' −13, J'' =36$ and $v'' =15, J'' =95$ . The spectrum shows a long series of R-P doublets and a structured continuum with a broad maximum at $1.05 μ m$ . From the analysis we obtain a new value for the ground state dissociation energy of $K 2$ .
