We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on the radiative lifetime of CO in the $a^3Pi_{1,2}, v=0$ state. CO molecules in a beam are prepared in selected rotational levels of this metastable state, Stark-decelerated and electrostatically trapped. From the phosphorescence decay in the trap, the radiative lifetime is measured to be $2.63pm0.03$ ms for the $a^3Pi_1, v=0, J=1$ level. From spin-orbit coupling between the $a^3Pi$ and the $A^1Pi$ state a 20% longer radiative lifetime of 3.16 ms is calculated for this level. It is concluded that coupling to other $^1Pi$ states contributes to the observed phosphorescence rate of metastable CO.

We report on the observation of blue-detuned photoassociation in Rb2, in which vibrational levels are energetically above the corresponding excited atomic asymptote. 85Rb atoms in a MOT were photoassociated at short internuclear distances to levels o
f the (1)3Pi g state at a rate of approximately 5x10^4 molecules/s. We have observed most of the predicted vibrational levels for all four spin-orbit components 0g+, 0g-, 1g, and 2g, including levels of the 0g+ outer well. These molecules decay to the metastable a3Sigma u+ state, some preferentially to the v=0 level, as we have observed for photoassociation to the v=8 level of the 1g component.
We describe a method for determining the radiative decay properties of a molecule by studying the saturation of laser-induced fluorescence and the associated power broadening of spectral lines. The fluorescence saturates because the molecules decay t
o states that are not resonant with the laser. The amplitudes and widths of two hyperfine components of a spectral line are measured over a range of laser intensities and the results compared to a model of the laser-molecule interaction. Using this method we measure the lifetime of the A(v=0) state of CaF to be tau=19.2 pm 0.7 ns, and the Franck-Condon factor for the transition to the X(v=0) state to be Z=0.987 (+0.013 || -0.019). In addition, our analysis provides a measure of the hyperfine interval in the lowest-lying state of A(v=0), Delta_e=4.8 pm 1.1 MHz.
The intercombination $a^3Pi - X^1Sigma^+$ Cameron system of carbon monoxide has been computationally studied in the framework of multi-reference Fock space coupled cluster method with the use of generalized relativistic pseudopotential model for the
effective introducing the relativity in all-electron correlation treatment. The extremely weak $a^3Pi_{Omega=0^+,1} - X^1Sigma^+$ transition probabilities and radiative lifetimes of the metastable $a^3Pi$ state were calculated and compared with their previous theoretical and experimental counterparts. The impact of a presumable variation of the fine structure constant $alpha=e^2/hbar c$ on transition strength of the Cameron system has been numerically evaluated as well.
We report on the Stark deceleration and electrostatic trapping of $^{14}$NH ($a ^1Delta$) radicals. In the trap, the molecules are excited on the spin-forbidden $A ^3Pi leftarrow a ^1Delta$ transition and detected via their subsequent fluorescence to
the $X ^3Sigma^-$ ground state. The 1/e trapping time is 1.4 $pm$ 0.1 s, from which a lower limit of 2.7 s for the radiative lifetime of the $a ^1Delta, v=0,J=2$ state is deduced. The spectral profile of the molecules in the trapping field is measured to probe their spatial distribution. Electrostatic trapping of metastable NH followed by optical pumping of the trapped molecules to the electronic ground state is an important step towards accumulation of these radicals in a magnetic trap.
Using a Ramsey-type setup, the lambda-doublet transition in the $J=1,, Omega=1$ level of the $a^3Pi$ state of CO was measured to be 394 064 870(10) Hz. In our molecular beam apparatus, a beam of metastable CO is prepared in a single quantum level by
expanding CO into vacuum and exciting the molecules using a narrow-band UV laser system. After passing two microwave zones that are separated by 50 cm, the molecules are state-selectively deflected and detected 1 meter downstream on a position sensitive detector. In order to keep the molecules in a single $m_J^B$ level, a magnetic bias field is applied. We find the field-free transition frequency by taking the average of the $m_J^B = +1 rightarrow m_J^B = +1$ and $m_J^B = -1 rightarrow m_J^B = -1$ transitions, which have an almost equal but opposite Zeeman shift. The accuracy of this proof-of-principle experiment is a factor of 100 more accurate than the previous best value obtained for this transition.
