مستخلص: Laser induced fluorescence of microwave stimulated OH molecules from H[SUP2]O photodissociation is investigated as a first step in a series of laboratory experiments to understand features of astronomical OH masers. The inversion between the Π[SUB3/2], J = 7/2 Λ-doublet states of OH generated via photodissociation of cold H[SUP2]O at 157 nm is shown to be 1.8:1. Within a microwave, Fabry--Perot cavity tuned to the resonance of one of the main hyperfine transitions in this Λ doublet it is possible to stimulate all inverted OH molecules. The linewidth of the two main microwave transitions is measured as a function of the microwave power and interaction time. The results show that Doppler broadening is negligible at short interaction times of the molecules with the microwave field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
