We report on one-color experiments near 214 nm involving the photodissociation of jet-cooled OCS to produce high rotational states (40 <J< 80) of CO (X1Σ+, v = 0, 1) which were then ionized by 2+1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization via the E1Π state. The nominally forbidden Q-branch of the two-photon E1Π–X1Σ+transition is observed with intensity comparable to the allowed R-branch. The bright character of the high-JQ-branch lines can be described quantitatively as intensity borrowing due to mixing of the E1Π and C1Σ+states, usingJ-dependent mixing coefficients extrapolated from the observed Λ-doubling in the lower rotational levels of the E state. In addition to the significant enhancement of Q-branch intensities above the values predicted by conventional two-photon line strengths for a1Π–1Σ+transition, the high-Jlines of the R- and P-branches appear to be suppressed in intensity by approximately a factor of 3 compared to the unperturbed low-Jline strengths, most likely due to perturbations associated with a1Σ–state. The E-state rotational term values forJ< 80, v = 0 derived from the present spectra agree within our measurement and calibration uncertainties with the extrapolations based on the molecular constants previously derived from rotational levels withJ< 50. The E–X transition is attractive for future application to photodissociation dynamics and rotational polarization measurements of CO photofragments, with convenient access to state-selective probing on multiple rotational branches, which exhibit different sensitivity to fragment alignment.
