Abstract
Radiative lifetimes measured by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence ar e reported for 40 odd-parity levels and 36 even-parity levels of singly ion ized terbium. The odd-parity levels range in energy from 29 000 to 40 000 c m(-1) and those of even-parity from 21000 to 37 000 cm(-1) These lifetimes, with one exception, are accurate to +/-5%. They will provide an absolute s cale for accurate atomic-transition probabilities in Tb II (the second spec trum of terbium). (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
