Description

Analysis and assignment of spectra involving the lowest excited states of the heavier alkali-metal atom dimers are complicated by the strong spin-orbit coupling elements. Here we report an analysis of the Fourier-transform spectroscopy data from laser-induced fluorescence of the coupled A 1Σ+ and b 3Π states of RbCs, using the discrete variable representation. Fitted parameters are given and special effects due to strong coupling are discussed
