Extracting molecular potentials from insufficient spectroscopic information
read the original abstract
We extend our recently developed inversion method to extract excited state potentials from fluorescence line positions and line strengths. We consider a previous limitation of the method arising due to insufficient input data in cases where the relatively weaker emission data are not experimentally available. We develop a solution to this problem by "regenerating" these weak transition lines via applying a model potential, e.g. a Morse potential. The result of this procedure, illustrated for the Q-branch emission from the lowest three vibrational levels of the B($^1 \Pi)$ state of LiRb, is shown to have an error of $0.29$ cm$^{-1}$ in the classically allowed region and a global error of $5.67$ cm$^{-1}$ for $V\le E(\nu'=10)$. The robustness of this procedure is also demonstrated by considering the statistical error in the measured line intensities.
