Resonance fluorescence of 15NO2 excited by narrow-band radiation of an Ar+ laser at 514, 495, 488, and 476 nm is reported and analyzed. The data are combined with published laser magnetic resonance and infrared measurements to obtain a set of vibration and vibration–rotation constants for the electronic ground state of this isotope.The fluorescence bands reported are a-axis polarized, corresponding to a transition moment [Formula: see text] between 2B2 and 2A1 basis states. Numerous anomalies in the vibrational and rotational structure of the fluorescence indicate that, in the region of the manifold probed by the laser, vibrational levels of the parent 2B2 basis state mix extensively with one another as well as with high vibrational levels of the 2A1 ground state.
