Abstract Fine-structure mixing of excited114Cd 53 P J atoms induced by collisions with various molecular gases (N2, H2, D2, CO, CH4, C2H6) has been investigated by a combined method of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. After pulsed optical excitation of the Cd(53 P 1) level, the time dependence of the population densities has been measured simultaneously both for the 53 P 1 state and for the collisionally populated 53 P 0 state. By analyzing the signal curves at different molecular gas pressures cross sections for collisional transfer between the114Cd 53 P 1 and 53 P 0 levels as well as the quenching cross sections for the 53 P levels have been obtained.
