Laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of FeS in the visible region

The laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectra of jet-cooled FeS molecules have been recorded in the energy range of 18 900-21 600 cm−1, in which four parallel and one perpendicular transitions were identified for the first time. Spectroscopic constants of the observed excited states of FeS were determined by analyzing their rotationally resolved spectra. In addition, the lifetimes of most observed bands were also measured.
