The Na2 43Pig state has been studied by continuous wave Perturbation-Facilitated Optical-Optical Double Resonance (PFOODR) fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The absolute vibrational numbering was determined by resolved fluorescence to the a3Sigmau+ state. The hyperfine splitting has been resolved and analyzed. The hyperfine constant bF is reported.
