Notes. LS notations have been assigned to the levels where possible. The remaining levels have been given in terms of their corresponding energy and J quantum number (see the theoretical discussion in section 3).

(a) All identified levels belong to 4d2(3F)nl.

(b)All intermediate levels belong to 4d2(3F)5p.

(c)2(3)ω is the second(third) harmonic of the laser wavelength, S(AS) imply the added Stoke(anti-Stoke) shift in a high-pressure hydrogen cell.

(d)Most fluorescence measurements were preformed in the second spectral order of the monochromator.

(e)Corrected for scattered light from the second step laser and detection tuned short to avoid cascade.

(f)Corrected for scattered light from the second step laser at 290 nm.
