Abstract

A laser excitation spectrum of the (0, 0) and (1, 1) bands of CaF $A 2 Π − X 4 Σ +$ system has been recorded. The present set of molecular constants for both $A 2 Π$ and $B 2 Σ +$ states represent a vast improvement in precision over previously reported $v a l u e s h$ because of larger number of lines position measurements and the use of a more reasonable effective Hamiltonian model which accounts explicitly for the {A - B} interaction via off-diagonal matrix elements. Accurate spectroscopic parameters for the {X, A}, and {B} states will be presented.
