On the A 2Σ+ ← X 2Π3/2 transition in nitric oxide (NO) we employ Doppler-free spectroscopy for different total angular momenta J on the P12 branch. Via phase sensitive detection by a lock-in amplifier the hyperfine structure of the X 2Π3/2 state of NO is partially resolved. The data is compared to previous measurements [1]. On the H 2Σ+ ← A 2Σ+ transition, optogalvanic spectroscopy is performed [2]. Both transitions are driven in continuous wave operation at 226 nm and 540 nm, respectively.
Investigation of the dependence of the spectroscopic feature on power and pressure, should yield hyperfine constants, natural transition linewidth and the collisional cross-section between NO molecules. The novel approach of optogalvanic spectroscopy has the potential to facilitate the investigation of the structural details of H 2Σ+.
