Abstract

Predissociating resonances were observed for destructive interference in a region between the resonances. Multiphoton ionization spectroscopy which was enhanced by resonance was used for probing single rotational levels of O₂ in case of double resonance technique. Double resonance technique resulted in the elimination of overlapping rotational structure.
