Building on our spectroscopic study of the 2 ² Σ ⁺ – 1 ² Σ ⁺ system of LiSr, we modeled perturbations in the thermal emission spectrum as coupling between the F₁ and F₂ levels of the 2 ² Σ ⁺ state and the 1 ² Π_1/2 and 1 ² Π_3/2 states. The rotational and vibrational constants of the 2 ² Σ ⁺ state were derived from the thermal emission spectrum and laser-induced fluorescence in the near infrared.

Several large perturbations of the rotational ladders of v^′ = 0 and v^′ = 1 allow to estimate the rotational and vibrational constants of the ² Π state, while accompanying smaller perturbations hint at its spin-orbit coupling constant. A preliminary deperturbation of one of the larger instances led to more refined values for the rotational and vibrational constants of 1² Π, as well as a first estimate the coupling strength and the spin-rotation coupling in 2 ² Σ ⁺. Adding further perturbed states, a more global picture of the coupling constants and the 1² Π state will be derived.

We will report on the status of the investigations.
