Abstract
The flame reaction $Sr+N_{2}O$ was investigated in a Broida-type oven by using laser excitation spectroscopy and dispersing the laser induced fluorescence with a 1/3m - monochromator. Previously reported results about a transition near 16852 $cm^{-1}$ involving a new triplet state at about 26300 $cm^{-1}$ above the ground state could be improved. A new bandhead at 16846 $cm^{-1}$ was found and could be assigned to the transition $A^{\prime}$ $^{1}\pi$ - B $^{1}\pi$. The observed wavelength of the bandhead is in good agreement with the value calculated from molecular data published by other groups [1]. Fluorescence from the B $^{1}\pi$ state into another excited state at about 9000 $cm^{-1}$ above the ground state was observed (probably a $^{3}\sum$ state). [1] K. P. Huber and G.
