We have recently constructed a prototype continuous supersonic expansion discharge nozzle for the production of rotationally cold molecular ions. To assess the performance of this source, we have employed laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy to measure the rotational temperature distributions of I_2 and N_2^+ as a function of position within the expansion. These measurements are performed on the B^3Π_{0_u^+} - X^1Σ_g^+ (6-0), (8-1), (10-2), and (12-3) bands of I_2 at 608 nm and the A^2Π_u - X^2Σ_g^+ (4-0) band of N_2^+ at 614 nm using a tunable cw dye laser. The temperature distributions obtained act as a feedback mechanism that aids in refinement of the source design with the aim of optimizing the densities and temperatures of the species within the expansion.
