Group of laser spectroscopy (ON2.5) offers a Ph.D. project on laser spectroscopy of diatomic alkali molecules. The project is focused on investigation of electronic structure of selected electronic states of Rb2, Cs2 and RbCs molecules, including determination of corresponding molecular constants and potential energy curves.

The research methodology is based on a laser polarization labelling spectroscopy technique which allows to record high resolution spectra of the investigated molecules. The experimental resources available in our laboratories include state-of-the art laser systems, specialized detection systems and spectroscopic cells designed for production of specific alkali metal dimers. The numerical Pointwise Inverted Perturbation Approach method developed in our group enables construction of molecular potentials for investigated electronic states basing on experimental spectra, even for states with exotic shapes of potential curves.
