The high-resolution infrared emission spectrum of sodium monofluoride has been recorded with a Fourier transformspectrometer. A total of 1131 of vibration–rotation transitions, from the £ Å 1 r 0 to £ Å 9 r 8 vibrational bands,have been assigned. The infrared data have been combined with existing microwave data in order to obtain improvedspectroscopic constants, including Dunham Y ij and U ij coefficients, for the X 1S/ electronic ground state of NaF. 1996

1S/ Ground State of NaF the strong pure rotational HF lines (8) that appeared in
the spectrum. Nine vibrational bands from £ Å 1 r 0 to
£ Å 9 r 8 were observed and the lines positions are
reported in Table 1. In order to obtain improved spectro-
scopic constants for NaF that can describe both the infra-
red and microwave data, all of the lines reported in Table
1 were fitted together with three microwave transitions
(9) and ten millimeter-wave transitions (10). The diodelaser measurements (1) were not included, since the pres-
ent measurements should be superior in precision. The
customary spectroscopic constants for the X 1S/ ground
state of NaF are given in Table 2. A reduced standard

pumped to remove the impurities up to a temperature of
approximately 800C. Above this temperature, the pump-
ng port was sealed and about 5 Torr of argon buffer gas
was added to prevent deposition of material onto the cell
windows. In this type of experiment, a partial pressureof about 1 Torr of the high-temperature gas-phase mole-
cule is desirable in order to obtain a high signal-to-noise
atio. The NaF partial pressure is 1 Torr at 1077C (7 ),
o the spectrum was recorded at 1100C and the signal-
o-noise ratio was approximately 15:1. The resolution of
he spectrum was 0.005 cm01 over the range 400–750
cm01. A liquid-helium-cooled Si:B detector, a KBr beam-
plitter, and KRS-5 cell windows were used. The final
ecording consisted of 50 coadded scans. A portion of
he spectrum showing part of the R branches of the 1–0
and 2–1 bands with the J value marked is displayed in

RESULTS AN D DISCUSSION
A total of 1131 transitions was observed and analyzed.
The line positions were measured using the PC-Decomp
program. This program, developed by J. Brault, deter-
mines the line centers by fitting the measured line profiles
o Voigt lineshape functions. The assignment of the bands
was carried out using an interactive color Loomis–Wood
program. The assignment of the rotational lines was based
on the previous constants found in the literature ( 1). The
