Thorium monoxide, ThO, has recently attracted interest as a possible venue for the determination of the electric dipole moment of the electron, DE. Here we report on the results of an optical Stark study of the E(O+)-X1Σ+(1,0) band and the field-free study of the F(O+)-X1Σ+(0,0) band. A supersonic molecular beam of ThO was generated using a laser ablation technique and probed using laser excitation spectroscopy. The determined values for the permanent electric dipole moments, μEl, for the E(O+)(v=1) and X1Σ+(v=0) vibronic states were determined to be 3.534±0.010 D and 2.782±0.012 D, respectively. The dispersed laser induced fluorescence resulting from the excitation of the E(O+)-X1Σ+(1,0) and F(O+)-X1Σ+(0,0) bands have been recorded and the results are compared to Franck-Condon predictions. The radiative lifetimes for the E(O+)-X1Σ+(1,0) band F(O+)-X1Σ+(0,0) bands were determined.
