Hyperfine splittings in the 2{ital p}{sub 6}, 2{ital p}{sub 7}, and 2{ital p}{sub 10} states of the 4{ital p}{sup 5}5{ital p} configuration of {sup 83}Kr ({ital I}=9/2) have been measured using saturated absorption laser spectroscopy. Computer simulations involving composite line shapes have been employed to reduce resolution difficulties. While the determination of hyperfine-coupling constants {ital A} and {ital B} in the 2{ital p}{sub 7} and 2{ital p}{sub 10} states is straightforward, this process is complicated by overdetermination in the 2{ital p}{sub 6} state. Our measurements of {ital A} (2{ital p}{sub 6}) and (2p{sub 6},2{ital p}{sub 7},2{ital p}{sub 10}) represent the first determinations of these constants. With these measurements, hyperfine couplings for all eight states exhibiting hyperfine structure in the 4{ital p}{sup 5}5{ital p} manifold now exist. The results provide a good test of semiempirical calculations of hyperfine structures.
