Notes.

(b)

Two-photon excitation using this wavelength;

(c)

Transitions at 280 nm connect to 4p z6F, those around 290 nm to 4p z6P and 299 nm to 4p z6D (see Fig. 2). All measurements were made in the second spectral order;

(d)

Semiempirical superposition-of-configurations calculation by Kurucz (1995);

(e)

Semiempirical calculation using orthogonal operators by Raasen & Uylings (1997);

(f)

The J = 1/2 and 3/2 fine structure levels in e6D could neither be separated in the excitation nor in the detection channels.
