We report experimental data on the highly excited states of zinc in the energy range 74,625–75,740cm−1using two-step laser excitation scheme in conjunction with a thermionic diode ion detector. The 4s4p3P1inter-combination level at 32501.399cm−1was populated using a frequency doubled dye laser. The 4s5s3S1level at 53672.28cm−1gets populated from the ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) of the second step dye laser. The Rydberg series 4snp3P2(12⩽n⩽60), 4snp1P1(16⩽n⩽30) and parity forbidden transitions 4sns3S1(19⩽n⩽44) have been observed. A two parameter fit to excitation energies of the observed series yields the binding energy of the 4s5s3S1level as 22097.03±0.03cm−1and consequently, the first ionization potential of zinc is determined as 75769.31±0.05cm−1, that is in excellent agreement with the earlier work.
