Laser induced fluorescence spectra for jet-cooled CaO have been used to examine the higher vibrational levels of the A'(1)Pi(X sigma pi(-1)) state (v = 10-17) and the v = 6-8 vibrational levels of the C-1 Sigma(+)(B sigma sigma(-1)) state. A perturbation of v = 17 of the A' state was evident, caused by a spin-orbit mediated interaction with the b(3)Sigma(+)(Omega = 1)(X sigma sigma(-1)) v = 14 level. Ro-vibrational constants for the A' state were obtained by fitting to the data for nominally unperturbed levels. The average radiative lifetime for the A'(1)Pi(X sigma pi(-1)) state v = 10-17 levels was 2.6 mu s, with no measurable dependence on v. This was consistent with the theoretical prediction of a relatively small transition dipole moment for the A'(1)Pi-X-1 Sigma(+) band system.A homogeneous perturbation of the C-1 Sigma(+)(B sigma sigma(-1)) v = 7 level was examined by means of dispersed laser induced fluorescence (DLIF) and radiative lifetime measurements. The DLIF spectra clearly demonstrate that the perturbing Omega = 0(+) state is a component of a triplet state. Intense transitions from this state to the a(3)Pi(0(+))(X sigma pi(-1)) state were observed. Configurational arguments are presented that support assignment of the perturbing state as the v = 12 vibrational level of the previously unobserved g(3)Pi(0(+))(B sigma pi(-1)) state.
