Abstract
We report detailed spectroscopic measurements of the transition in PbO. Using a Stark-modulated laser absorption technique, we have measured the hyperfine constant of in the state, as well as the rotational constant, isotope shifts, etc. The hyperfine constant of the state is of interest as a benchmark for calculations of PbO electronic structure related to experiments to search for the electric dipole moment of the electron.
